The only church that I'm aware of that openly accept gay or lesbian people as pastors is the Unitarian church, I'm not sure if the Methodist church does yet, I believe they were considering this.
Most churches accept anyone in love into their congregation, no matter what their sexual preference, color, nationality, what have you. It doesn't matter, God loves everyone, and we all are sinners.

We have a gay Episcopal Bishop here in New Hampshire. Half of the membership left when he got the position.
Looks like some Lutheran churches can be added to the list as well, just did some more reading.

I have done a lot of studies of different systems of spirituality and the answer is a big NO! Throughout history spirituality and sexuality are connected, in many ways the one and the same. Homosexuality was actually practiced and condoned by the catholic church until about the 5 century a.d.. Which some say is the time they choose Jesus divinity. Most religions outside the Abraham linage have no problem with the idea homosexuality. All religions use their system for power and control over themselves or their follower and have used sex as one of the biggest factors of that control. Almost all say that their priests or nuns or spiritual leaders must abstain. I think the real question is when will you listen to your higher power, whoever that is, and love your neighbors, judge not, and be your bothers/sisters keeper and be the best you can be, through love, nothing else. God says the same thing to every religion, Do As You Wish But Harm None In Every Way.

Excuse me, the God of the Bible doesn't say,"Do as you wish but, harm none in every way." What b.s. are you trying to pull on us?
That is from the satanic bible, as if you didn't know? This isn't a judgment in any form, just a true statement of where your quote comes from.

And people wonder why I do not believe in religion. I do not believe in Satan because you first have to believe in the christian god. I STILL LOVE YOU, even if you are judging me. Read between the lines of the bible. Take man's words that were put in the bible out and READ the bible as a grown adult who grew out of fairy tales. God speaks of LOVE not of HATE. If you to ignore Jesus, and what he was saying then you will fall to ignorance and you will be lost. I LOVE Jesus and his message but not the systems that follow.
The saying "Do as you wish but harm none in every way" does not come the satanic bible. Read it if you will quote it. It comes from pre-written history of the goddess worshipers which became the druids the Europe,(not just Ireland and England but all across the continent) The Catholics took a lot of their belief system and incorporated it into what they claimed was the people of the devil.
