"Rainbow Baptist"
They are part of the American Baptist Church from which Evangelical, Fundamentalist and Independant Baptists withdrew fellowship during the early part of last century because of the modernist and liberal takeover of the denomination, much like your church did by excommunicating dissident sects.
Ah, so they can't take communion then.
:)
But yeah, the situations similar. Gays don't like fundamental churches and Catholic Churches.
Found this, may be of interest.
SBC's Christian Life Commission publishes a pamphlet called Critical Issues: Homosexuality. It states that:
The many Bible passages that are commonly quoted as condemning homosexuality are valid.
People can change their sexual orientation.
Homosexual orientation is not "caused" by hormonal imbalance or genetic factors, but by an unhealthy relationship with one's parents.
People cannot be pigeonholed into two classifications: homosexual or heterosexual. A continuum exists which includes various degrees of bisexuality.
Although homosexual activity is a sin, it is not the unpardonable sin, or the most terrible of sins.
Homosexuals can only lead moral lives by remaining celibate....
