“unrepentant participation in and advocacy of a sexually immoral lifestyle”
This includes more than just being gay. It includes herterosexual couples living together, students having sex prior to marriage, guys that go to strip clubs, and people that view porn on the internet (all of which are, if not openly promoted, at least “tolerated” by mainstream Christians in the USA.)
If they are including all of the above in their definition of immoral lifestyle, then I don’t see how this is a discrimination against gays, as their sexual immoralitly isn’t singled out above any other sexual immorality.

I think you meant to say “mainline” not “mainstream”.
Mainstream Christians, such as Evangelical groups do not promote or tolerate such behavior. I know my church certainly does not, nor any other Evangelical churches I know either.
However, some of the mainline churches (so call because they were near the railroad tracks), Episcopalian, Methodists, Presbyterians, ELCA, do currently subscribe to a more liberal moral theology.
