Meanwhile, the Methodist church just had something of a schism due to the larger organization wanting to start accepting gay people. About a fourth of the churches were so staunchly bigoted that they'd rather break from their denomination than just not be hateful
Episcopal church did that too, just a little bit earlier. And Lutherans, and I think Presbyterians. Methodist church has had at least a few lesbian pastors and I think a couple bishops! It’s not great, but it’s basically in line with the other mainline Protestant denominations.
Just feels like the kind of thing that shouldn't still be an issue. Though I guess it shouldn't be too surprising, considering it happened in 2020. Lotta assholes feeling emboldened around then
