There are still many people in the world who believe that the Church, and therefore God, rejects homosexual people.
But the Uniting Church in Australia has been dealing with this issue since the 1990s.
Homosexuality is not a bar to ordination in the Uniting Church.
And gay marriages can be celebrated in Uniting churches at the discretion of the Minister and the Church Council.
Gay marriages can also be celebrated in the Episcopal Church in America - which is the descendant of the Anglican Church in that country.
The issue of homosexuality has even been mooted in the Catholic Church.
But there is little publicity about these positive moves to accept homosexuality in the Churches.
It is time that people woke up to the fact that some Churches, and therefore God, are accepting of gay people.
