Episcopalians, I think. Lutherans. The Catholics have long protected their homosexual employees. Somebody here suggested the Methodists were in line with this thinking?
Then there are some "community churches." Didn't Joel Olsteen come out supporting them?
Presbyterian Church USA already ordained gay pastors.

The Denomination also allows gay marriage:

Only ELCA “Lutherans”.. LCMS Wisconsin or ELS have not.
I predict that in less than six months we will know who is who.
There’s not going to be room to hide one’s position now.
one thing the last few days has done is separate the sheep from the goats, even within my own denominaiton(LCMS)..Didn’t know so many people were catechized so poorly
All the Mainlines, except the UMC. But the UMC will use the SCOTUS decision to separate the US conference from the Central Conferences (Africa and Asia) at their General Conference in 2016, so I predict that the UMC will go gay then.
But note that most of those mainlines have a orthodox, conservative “little brother” who is fighting the gay agenda with biblical truth.
Lutherans: ELCA is gay. LCMS and Wisconsin Synods are biblical
Presbyterians: PCUSA is gay. PCA, EPC, and OPC are biblical
Methodists: UMC is almost gay. Nazarenes and Wesleyans are biblical
UCC: all gay, all the time
Episcopals: TEC is gay, but many are fleeing back to the RCC
Baptists: ABC is gay, the rest of the Baptists are biblical
It is a church by church decision, and will be fought out on the local level.
Add LCMC to those as orphaned from ELCA and their heresy.

yes, the ELCA, IIRC, are the leftist Lutherans. My guess is Martin Luther would not associate with them.
In the first category would be, as far as I know, Liberal, Reform and Conservative Judaism. IN the second category, Orthodox Judaism.
In the first category, LCA. In the second, LCMS.
In the first category, PCUSA. In the second, the Orthodox and the Catholics.
The President of the National Council of Catholic Bishops called it a “Tragic Error”, and they have consistently been an outspoken opponent to gay marriage.

Revelation 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
Your statement about the Catholic church is true, they did cover-up for gay priests in their organization. That was a very bad thing, and they have paid dearly for it and changed their policy.
So your implication that because they were complicit in covering up past deeds they somehow support gay marriage is completely incorrect.
FR has a lot of anti-Catholics, perhaps this is just more of that, but I’m going to assume good faith in your posting.
I missed the part where Judaism is a Christian group, and I also missed the Orthodox Jewish “leaders” that “approve homosexual practice”.
Good post Mr.Black!
Many Episcopalians have move the the Anglican Church, which support Biblical teachings on sex and marriage. The Anglican Church is still under the umbrella of The Church of England, but I suspect not for long.
I see a union of the African, South American, and US Anglicans (among others) breaking away from the Church of England.

There is a table at the bottom that some might find helpful.
Revelation 22:11 “Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
