[Brian McLaren: Is there any way to celebrate “faithful” gay couples?](http://www.anewkindofchristian.com/archives/000359.html?ref=dashhouse.com):

> As you know, several sectors of the church…

> a) are already welcoming to gay people in committed (non-promiscuous) relationships.

> In some other sectors, b) the churches don’t believe that homosexual behavior is right, but they are still committed to welcoming people and treating them with respect.

> And sadly, in many others, c) the churches use language that subjects homosexual people to a continual experience of rejection and shame. As for churches that I know in the “emergent” conversation, I think you’d find a mix of a) and b) above.

I love Brian, but that answer ducked the question!
