nonsense.

Churches do allow for ecclesiastical divorces so your assumption is erroneous. Just in case, I am specifically thinking about the orthodox church which has a few millenia over the recent arrivals in the last centuries.

Also, we are talking about a recreational sex behavior. Refusing to celebrate homosexual sex at a funeral is no different than refusing to celebrate a dead persons sex with animals or sex orgies when going to club med’s hedonism(tm) resorts.

Your straw-man is ridiculous and a non sequiter

They do, ignoring Jesus' command that what God had joined, let no man break asunder. That doesn't change the teachings of Christ that divorce and remarry is adultery. That just makes it a more acceptable sin in the eyes of the church in question.

We're talking about a church refusing to conduct a funeral because they believe to do so promotes a sinful lifestyle, making it clear that some sinful lifestyles are OK for them and others are not.

Absolutely correct. Of course, these pro-homo cheerleaders don't let facts or logic get in their way when they misapply Scripture.
