"They're quite convinced that they are the true Christians and that "the Bible tells them so".

So were the Libertines, the Gnostics, the Cerinthians, the Pelagians and all the other heretical movements of the first and second centuries. This is nothing new. I'm sure this is why every book in the NT (except maybe Phileman) stresses rejecting false doctrine. The books of Galations and Jude are almost totally devoted to this issue. So who do we rely on for proper interpetation? The book of John specificly tells us this is the job of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will "teach" us ALL THINGS and help us to remember Jesus words. (Jn 14:26)

But of course! Exactly! That's precisely what the Gay Christians believe.

Did you read any of the three links I gave?

Right. But the Spirit teaches the Church; and not everyone in the Church is appointed by God as a teacher:

1 Corinthians 12: 28-30
Now you are the body of Christ,
and each one of you is a part of it.
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles,
second prophets,
third teachers,
then workers of miracles,
also those having gifts of healing
, those able to help others,
those with gifts of administration,
and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
Are all apostles?
Are all prophets?
Are all teachers?
Do all work miracles?
Do all have gifts of healing?
Do all speak in tongues?
Do all interpret?
