Yarbrough, a lesbian, said she and others offered to dialogue with parishioners, but they were refused.

She probably would've just given them a tongue-lashing.

When I grew up in the Episcopal church being gay was considered something akin to an affliction, then it became an alternative lifestyle choice, then it was OK to be gay and even OK to be a gay bishop. I got out before they make being gay a requirement. I have taken communion from gay ministers and laypersons and certainly with gays, I employee an out of the closet lesbian. I don't want to be gay but I don't hate gays. My problem with gay bishops is that the church by choosing a gay to lead endorses the gays as a prefered lifestyle and I'm just not ready to go that far. I think the church should give me something to aspire to not an excuse for my own sins, whatever they are. I just can't get past the homosexual acts as sin thing. And I'm not sure I want to.
