I was a local leader in a UMC church for a decade. I saw that same argument come up every year at state wide meetings, and every year useless proclamations were drafted and sent to the national meeting. Promptly ignored.

All the while local churches were folding, and the property was sold to other faiths. Those were always more accepting of LGBTxxx folks.
