The United Methodist Church is deeply divided over LGBT rights.

A. That's because the LGBT's won't leave and start their own damned church (and I mean that very sincerely), as they have been asked to do numerous times. No, the objective is for secular atheist homosexualism to defeat believers in the Word of God and to force the dhimmi trads to convert to homosexual supremacy and spout heresies like the homosexualists.

B. You don't have "rights" in a church. You have grace—if you follow the Word of God.

Scripture does not tell us to turn away from the honest unbeliever — how else are we to share the Gospel with them if we do? — but we are to disassociate from false bretherin: who are what we might term high handedly unrepentant.

Furthermore, there is no right to sin.

From "The Doctrines and Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1900, With An Appendix,"
Bishop Andrews, Ed., New York, Eaton and Mains, 1900. p. 354

Appendix Paragraph 31. On Licensing and Ordaining Women.

§ 1. The Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church does not provide for nor contemplate the licensing women as
Local Preachers; and therefore the action of a Quarterly Conference, and of a Presiding Elder as the President
thereof, in granting such license is without authority of law, is not in accordance with the Discipline as it is, and with the uniform administration under it. --
Journal, 1880, pp.353, 354.

§ 2. The law of the Church does not authorize the ordination of women to the Ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church; and a Bishop is not at liberty to submit to the vote of the Conference the question of electing
women to Orders. -- Journal, 1880, p.353.

§ 3. The General Conference judges it inexpedient take any action on the subject of licensing women exhort or to
preach; and that it is also inexpedient take any action on the subject of ordaining women to the Ministry. --
Journal, 1884, p.317.

Irony.

The man who baptized me and married my wife and I has a daughter in the clergy. She is very liberal. This year, she left PCUSA and now has a charge in the UMC.
