No, the church who decided how to handle the service is the judge of whether or not to condone an unrighteous lifestyle via their pastoral services. We humans can only judge a man’s behavior, not his state of grace. As far as we know, the man did not renounce his homosexual lifestyle before death and so did not meet this church’s standards for the reward of a service on hallowed ground. What if this same church doesn’t allow homosexual wedding ceremonies? Is that a problem for you as well?

Would we even be having this conversation if the man had been an active pedophile, murderer, rapist or thief? It’s beginning to look as though homosexuals are going to get preferential treatment even after they’re dead.

Homosexuality is not a crime. Besides, the memorial is for the living—his or her family.

Would you dishonor his memory as a veteran whose service allowed you to practice your faith based on his homosexuality? It’s beginning to look as though homosexuals are going to get preferential treatment even after they’re dead. Is honoring the someone and being compassionate to the family and friends "preferential treatment"? Civil unions are not the same as memorial or funeral services.
