Now wait a minute, Hilliary is (or was) a Sunday School teacher at a Methodist Church, she bares a heavier responsibility than to just blow off the question of this importance to Christians everywhere.

The Methodist Church leadership especially on the east and west coasts are very very liberal. You'd lose your job as a minister on those coasts if you came out strongly against homosexuality. There was even consideration a few years ago about splitting off from the Methodist Church as a whole over this issue. Lots of the ministers, district superintendents and bishops wanted to ordain gays and do same sex marriages. The Methodist Church in the rest of the country and most of the rest of the world was against it. The rest wanted to keep or strengthen the Methodists position on homosexuality which is All people are persons of sacred worth but the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity and Methodism in particular. Those on the west coast decided to remain connected and be a "reconciling" congregation what ever the heck that means.
