ELCA policy as of August 2009 is that gays in “publicly accountable lifelong monogamus relationships” (PALMRs)are no longer barred from being Ordained.
The Ordination of one such person in San Fransisco was a feature article in the Lutheran magazine a couple of months ago.
I heard about that policy, on Aug. 22, 2009. Some synods have their own rules, determined by the bishops.
