That's right, it isn't. Although many would like to paint it that way. The key is that ordination is not a right. It is a calling and a privilege. It's not granted to all, and the Bible shows that it is witheld from various classes of people.
Instead it is a question, agonisingly difficult for many, as to what kinds of behaviour a Church that seeks to be loyal to the Bible can bless, and what kinds of behaviour it must warn against and so it is a question about how we make decisions corporately with other Christians, looking together for the mind of Christ as we share the study of the Scriptures.
