Bro... I was a medic in the Army (91B10). Sometimes you have to run into the fire everyone else is running away from to save the wounded. Jesus (God) came down and associated with the sinful human community. One can be in the world... and not of it with relation to behavior. One can reach out to the gay community and not participate in their "after hour" events.

Then they are trying to reach the same group that God saved them from, but they are no longer gay. They may still have homosexual attractions. However to say that some one is gay indicates that they are an active participant in the gay lifestyle. That is why there are so many 'gay churches'. They wish to have all of the trappings of Christianity without actually having to commit their all to Jesus.
I view this as fallout of the easy believism, and charismatic movements that did not demand true repentance and never preached with any conviction. It was inevitable that this was going to happen.
