From what I read (more than just this article) The deceased mans brother worked for the Church and it was agreed that the service was free. Then the departed fellow's homosexual "partner" insisted/demanded that the presentation would include a video of them together in a manner that conflicted with church policy i.e; celebrate their "homosexualrelationship".
If what you is true -- and I'm not doubting your truthfulness -- then the church was right to call off the funeral. However, Fox's article states this:
The church's pastor, the Rev. Gary Simons, said no one knew Sinclair, who was not a church member, was gay until the day before the Thursday service, when staff members putting together his video tribute saw pictures of men "engaging in clear affection, kissing and embracing."

However, if Fox's version of the events are true, then the church should have just left those parts out of the tribute video and continued with the service.
