You are correct. To my mind, homosexuality is the McGuffin. What this is really about is control of real estate property, endowments, and art collections, which can be used to fund leftist causes.

People aren't going to leave a church because of most disagreements, but homosexuality will drive them away, especially when you ordain a practicing one as bishop.

Have you ever noticed this push for gay ordination is only going on in the churches in which the denomination as a whole owns the property. Churches like the Southern Baptisits, in which congregations own property individually, don't have nearly as much trouble with these activists.

Good point, though I wonder if the age of the whole church has something to do with that as well. The Anglicans have been together much longer than the Baptists have.
