Re:
[my comment] 
"The gay community is not attempting to make the Religious institutions comply,..."

There is no community that can "make" any Religious institution comply
with that, that is considered by that institution to be against their Religious
principle [Government action included].

The fact that a Religious institution has decided to allow gays to be part of
their clergy, has been the decision of that institution. If the members of that
congregation do not accept that institution's decision, then they may speak up
and make it known [some have]. There has been a large part of their
congregation that also agrees with that institution's decision. It is also their right
as part of that congregation, to make their wishes known. 

The notion that there has been some sort of conspiracy; some sort of
underhanded diabolical plot to coerce a Religious institution into traveling
down some sort of sacrilegious path, is simply not true, nor substantiated
by any fact, what-so-ever.

I won't go into Religious doctrine on this thread, but what has transpired
within that Religious institution, has not been "forced" by some group
of militant gays. It's happened because some people realize that a person's
sexuality has nothing to do with the quality of person they are. They
are here on this Earth because God put them here. I respect that, more
than I could ever respect those that oppose that concept.

Thanks.

Yes, God put us ALL here, not to celebrate our weaknesses, but with His help, to overcome them.
