We are talking about the law here and whether the law is going to treat people equally here. I don't see where the church or anyone else dictates what the policy is going to be with respect to treating people equally

We are talking about souls here, and whether the church has the authority to ignore the word of God. I don't see where the State(tm) or anyone else has the right to dictate matters of politics to God with respect to entry into heaven.

Precisely. It is God's call to accept and or to forgive.It's not man's responsibility to accept. Man certainly can't forgive as only God ultimately has that card. The clear interpretation of the Bible is that two individuals of the same sex shall not lie down together. This is a perversion of the species. If permitted, the species would die off. Only God has the power to forgive and ,I am just guessing, forgive provided forgiveness has been requested by the offender
