A woman pastor? What kind of crazy church do you go to?

Well, she's right. The Christian Church welcomes sinners. We're all sinners. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. I think someone pretty nice said that about someone who was pretty sinful.
Further, a homosexual who refrains from sex is not sinning. So why would you ostracize them based on being a homosexual anyway? They may be trying as hard as they can. If they falter and give in to temptation, does that mean they should be kicked out? What about you - when you sin, should you voluntarily leave the church? (don't say you don't sin, because we all do - we all fall short of the glory of God, my friend),.
Judge not, lest ye be judged. A person that points his finger and judges that another person is unworthy of Christ's redemption is doing just what God says not to do.

The last time I checked, God does the calling for those who will worship Him. Not you.
Would you deny the call that some homosexuals recieve to worship the God who loves his people?
You are sounding like a modern day Pharisee, and I leave you to His judgement. Since you are so perfect, maybe you can show how to walk on water.
There is much that you miss. Jesus is the friend of sinners, it's the Pharisees that thought that they were perfect who he had problems with. They accused him of being a glutton and a winebibber and had a problem with Jesus for staying with 'sinners', do you think that he would approve of what it is that you are saying right now? I would think not, because he said that he came to called the unrighteous to the kingdom, not those who thought that they were well already.
Mark 2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The Bible teaches that women must keep silent in church Dear, think about it....
Oh and it also teaches that the Earth is flat and at the center of the universe and that bats are birds. You really should not believe everything you read in bronze age middle eastern goat herders fairy tales....

You tell us.
You can disagree with a chosen sexual behavior and that is not putting them down.... it's simply disagreement. Hate the sin, not the sinner.
