There are different Methodist sects.

Assuming we dont' enter into another period of Dark Ages, churches will have to adapt to known knowledge and facts... such as that sexual orientation is fixed before birth and there is nothing tht can be done to change it. They adapted to a roudn world, and that the earth isn't the center of universe. They had to.

Unfortunately, it may be a battle of attrition.

@snytiger6 , if they can't see past religion they will never see past sexual orientation. The two will never be separated. I may be wrong. I hope I am. My gson and his husband are proof things can change.

@freeofgod Not all religions bother with sexual orientation. For instance ihave dated several Buddhist men, and there are no religious prohibitions against gay sex. However, most Asian cultures have prohibitions against gay relationships, simply because such relationships produce nto children to take care of the elderly.
