the majority if Christian churches fully support homosexuality and gay marriage, many have homosexual clergy and youth workers, and some even living with their partners

Wrong! Some "mainline" Protestant churches have become apostate and have accepted sin in their ranks - see Episcopal, ELCA, PCA, United Methodist, et al. But those denominations do not make up the "majority" of Christian churches.

1. Southern Baptist Convention: 16.2 million members
2. The United Methodist Church: 7.8 million members
3. The Church of God in Christ: 5.5 million members
4. National Baptist Convention: 5.0 million members
5. Evangelical Lutheran Church, U.S.A.: 4.5 million members
6. National Baptist Convention of America: 3.5 million members
7. Assemblies of God: 2.9 million members
8. Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.): 2.8 million members
9. African Methodist Episcopal Church: 2.5 million members
10. National Missionary Baptist Convention of America: 2.5 million members
11. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS): 2.3 million members
12. The Episcopal Church: 2.0 million members
13. Churches of Christ: 1.6 million members
14. Pentecostal Assemblies of the World: 1.5 million members
15. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church: 1.4 million members

And the "mainline" denominations that have embraced homosexuality have been declining in membership, while those that hold to the Scriptural standards on issues of sexuality have been growing. There has been a big growth in "non-denominational" evangelical churches.

I’m in one. They are indeed growing.

Please don’t include the PCA in your list of the apostate. The PCA is an “orthodox” Presbyterian denomination that broke away from the Presbyterian (U.S.A.) because the PCUSA was diverging from biblical beliefs and practices & has become apostate.

Uh, NO, Sweetie. Nice try. Knock everyone down by 1 as far as rank in membership. Apparently you are very ignorant. The Catholic church by far outnumbers all the others. And I notice you forgot all the Orthodox churches as well.
