We disagree.

I don't.

On a very similar note, I'll point out that you may deem God's Word outdated and thus irrelevant in regard to who is and who is not qualified for church leadership. But, I don't.

"You may see homos and women as equal but I don't."

True. Being a woman is obviously not a sin, but living in a sexually active gay relationship is a sin.

However, there is a nexus between the two issues. Like gay sex, the ordination of women is Bibilically forbidden, both explicitly and implicitly. And like gay sex, women's ordination works to undermine the presupposition that God created two equal, but differing, sexes with different roles.

I know that there are women pastors in the mainline denominations who have opposed gay lib theology. However, if you look at the recent history of the mainline Protestant denominations, it is those which have ordained women which now have organized movements promoting gay ordination, pantheism, etc. This is not just a coincidence. The denominations which have been orthodox enough to reject women's ordination (the Southern Baptists, Wisconsin and Missouri Synod Lutherans, the PCA, etc) do not have internal gay or pantheistic movements.
