ok let me rephrase: homosexuality and christianity?
ok let me rephrase the question....since as I expected I was hounded with "the bible says so" staments....so let me rephase in a way that actually makes christians answer the question Ive asked.
"why are women allowed to be ministers in many christian churches and openly teach and preach without their heads covered (which is condemed in the scriptures) and yet these same churches still condem homosexuality?!?"

What does one have to do with the other? Every religion condemns homosexuality. They can soften the blow, but basically every religion does. That includes Buddhism. Sorry, but you shouldn't have to court everything in order to be considered accepting. Harsh, but true.
I am not going to court everything in order to make you feel good. I am not going lie and tell you that something is okay when it is not. It would be wrong for me to placate anyone. So if you ask, hope for my silence. If you insist you will get an answer and the truth

Christians pick and choice? At least we are up front and real about what we believe in. Even in the Bible people listened to the counsel of women
Christians don't deny the truth just to be accepted.

Because people pick and choose what to follow based on whats convenient to them.
You already know the answer, why even bother asking it?
I know plenty of people who condemn homosexuality who are gluttonous, have tattoos, wear mixed clothing, or eat shellfish (some other "abominations" mentioned), very few christians work on themselves before preaching how others need to. They're only human, and even though some of them are the biggest hypocrites in the world, I accept it.

Christians like to pick and choose. Allowing female minister is convenient. Condemning homosexuality helps them cover up their bigotry.

It seriously is, because you do not understand the scripture to which you are referring.
If you did, you would know that your description of them, is incorrect.

christians pick and choose what to follow and what not to follow. if its a verse that's harsh they ignore it. and pretend they didn't see it

Becuase it has been revealed from the Bible the we are in the period of the Great Tribulation...Satan (the antichrist...the Beast) has been installed to rule the churches...We are commanded to leave the churches. God is directly applying His Word, the Bible, to peoples hearts that he chooses. It is written:
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (Satan), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (the churches), (whoso readeth, let him understand,)
Matthew 24:16 then let them which be in Judea (the churches) flee into the mountains (the Bible):
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (the churches), my people(the true believers), that ye be not partakers of her (the churches)sins, and that ye receive not of her (the churches) plagues.
God is separating the wheat form the tares.
Time is short. Judgment Day is May 21st, 2011. Pray now for mercy and forgiveness.
Being gay is a sin, and make no mistake...it it written:
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Time is short. Judgment Day is May 21st, 2011. Pray now for mercy and salvation.
