God may see all sin equally, but man cannot do so. Telling a white lie, is different than stealing, adultery, rape, or murder. Society would collapse if we treated every sin with the same punishment.
Man establishes boundaries. I believe churches need to establish boundaries to fulfill their role and provide moral direction. Either homosexuality is a sin, or it is not. It seems every passage in the Bible on the subject condemns the act. How a church can accept it and allow its pastors to be immoral is a recipe for disaster. What is next....sexual relations with 16 year olds? 14 year olds? ????
I am reminded of the phrase, "What would Jesus do?" I doubt He would select them to spread the word of God. Some will argue He did not select any women either. I think I know why, but that is another subject.
