These things have a way of fixing themselves.

They can appoint a gay pastor to my Methodist Church but I am free to comment as I see fit. He wouldn’t last long under that scenario. The weight of guilt is too great.
Christians will send missionaries to Godless heathen Hellholes to preach to the lost but they won’t stay in a local church to try and save it.

I know what you mean, but right now the "godless heathen hellholes" are producing some of the most dedicated Christians you ever saw. At the current rate, this will be the godless heathen hellhole they send their missionaries to.

But when Pastors and Bishops like these send missionaries out to heathan Hellholes, their converts will be in a worse spiritual position than if they had never heard this perverted gospel at all.

Can a corrupt tree bear good fruit?

I tried very hard to "save" a Methodist church at which I was a trustee. I got the treatment reserved for the Tea Party by the IRS, including nearly being run off the road in a vehicle, having a list of sins mailed to me by the pastor with mine underlined, having all my projects taken down or discontinued, etc etc. I was kind and fact-based in my discussions with people. They were unkind and defamatory towards me and my reputation because I respectfully disagreed that the church should bless gay unions and promote gays being pastors, and wanted the matter to be discussed, not dictated. The gossip was continued on to my subsequent pastors in another state after I moved. Eventually, I simply had to leave, after the lying, closeted pastor in my last UMC church told my teenager that it is ok to have sex outside marriage. I could not raise children in churches within a Conference with no appropriate sexual boundaries.
