Like the Mormons then no one could tell them anything. Then they could just do it right there in Church if they wanted to. Amen,

Actually, the LGBT community did found their own church. It is called Metropolitan Community Church. No, they don't "just do it right there in church". Unless of course you mean worship god as they see him. But having another church for another special interest group, like LDS, AME, JV, etc. resolves nothing. People with closed minds will just light a torch and redirect the flames.
As for the statement: "enough homosexuals", that is debatable. To some, 2 is enough, to others, hundreds of billions would not be enough.
Though I am neither christian or homosexual, I do find it sad that people think being one must be exclusive of the other. Read the words of Jesus as perpetrated in the New Testament of christain bibles. He was a righteous man, son of god or not, and taught that love is the answer. Love for every one.

Not all Christians practice their beliefs in the same way. The line of thinking that says that homosexuals should form their own church so that no one could tell them anything is the same line of thinking that causes divisions in churches. Countless churches have had divisions, or rifts if you will, because of the varying differences in how many of its members interpret the Bible or want to implement church policy. We can't possibly have separate churches for everybody who has their own spin on the Christian walk, or it would get pretty ridiculous and rather than churches which are large enough to support themselves, there would be many itty bitty churches out there that barely can get by.
My views on whether or not to belong to a particular church are based on the church's core values, which I place importance on in the following manner:
1) Does the church follow the Bible without adding to or taking away from it?
2) Are the teachings of the church consistent with the Bible?
3) Is the church practicing true Christian love and unconditional acceptance of everyone?
After the above conditions are met, then whether or not I want to be a part of that church depends upon other things such as church size, do I feel comfortable, are the people friendly etc.
Even if homosexuals were to form their own church in the manner you mention, there would still be variations on each individual's interpretation of the Bible and how to practice one's faith. Some people are more demonstrative with their worship while others are more reserved. The issue of homosexuality is but one thing. There are many, many other things that divide Christians in the church. The key is not in having lots of churches to fit everyone's way of believing, but rather to be united as a church body in the collective worship of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and to lift one another up in Christian love and to support, encourage and pray for one another in the church. Our differences will take care of themselves because it is our commonality, which is our love for Jesus Christ, which should hold us together.

For the last 400+ years, that seems to be the fad: disagree, declare yourself to be a pastor, and start your own Church. The next step is bashing the original Church to make people feel like everyone who follows it is "deluded" Maybe thar's why there are more than 3000 different "protestant" sects so far.

That's the best, but think they feel guilty, they need a strong leader who can form that Church or its too early for them to form a church but it wont be long.

Ummm they essentially have. It is the Metropolitan Community Church but forming ones own church to make the church agee with your belief will not work anymore then changing the name on the bottle of medication will change that medication.

They already do. It's called the Unitarian church, or something like that. Anyway, it's there to appease people who live godless lives under the veil of being "religious". Good for the heart. Or the mind. Or the psyche. Oh, damn it- it's good for something or other.

the gay agenda is to dominate,not coexist
they are satisfied only when the straights are completely brainwashed and embrace the gay cult and act against nature
for the nature is against gay sex.Gay sex is useless
belief of the gay cult:
the straights is a bunch of stupid breeders that don't realize thet anal sex is holy sex
the straights have duty to provide fresh meat for gays
those who hate anal sex are bigots and must be brainwashed ( diversity training)
free speech for gays and not for those who disagree with gays
so they want the straight churches destroyed and found the queer churches

Yeah, and that would solve the problem of them not having the same rights, when it comes to marriage, that we do. Plus, we really need more Christians.
Brilliant.

I certainly hope you're not calling yourself a Christian?! Because if you are - I hope you have added bigot to your title.
