Nothing. You don't go to church to be chastised or judged; you go to pray and make peace with God.

Nothing. At my (Christian) church we believe that all people have value and worth. As followers of Jesus we have to love all people even if we personally don't agree with something someone is/does/believes. We can't judge others because we're not blameless ourselves. We accept straight, gay, bi, women, men, children, divorced, married, never married, white, black, homeless, nonhomeless, mental illness, no mental illness, and etc. So a Gay/Lesbian couple is treated the same way any other couple is treated.

They are welcomed with open arms.
My church (Unitarian Universalist) is officially a Welcoming Congregation. We support all people of all sexual orientations and their families. We have many openly gay ministers, perform same-sex unions, and are at the forefront of the helping then achieve their full legal rights in society.
For the past year, my church building has been flying a banner from it's bell tower which proclaims "Civil Marriage is a Civil Right".

How would anyone know they are a couple, unless they were holding hands or acting in an unappropriate way? They would just be two friends going to church, right?
Let me be perfectly clear: If I were the Pastor of a House of God, and any persons came in and acting disrespectfully they would be booted out in a heartbeat.
It's not your house. Its Gods House, and I would be damned if someone will disrespect my God in his own House.
I would feel the same way if I was your friend, and someone came to your house and disrespected you.
This world is ripe for a harvest, and boy is there gonna be some correction coming.....along with alot of teaching and the strictest disipline, both needed badly.

Well, with about 15,000 other people in attendance, nobody really pays it any attention. However, I can say that I never say an openly Gay or Lesbian couple attend.

i dont know that any have. i've seen women come in together, sit together and leave together but whether or not they were "a couple" was unknown.
i've seen men sit together but i dont know if they were "a couple"
not that i have radar to locate peoples sexual preferences. neither do i want any.
i'm there to worship God and hear the gospel preached. and if the man or woman from the pulpit started spewing hate towards anyone i'd walk out and not go back.

It has never happened. but I really believe that if they did attend that the preacher would preach whatever message he would have preached had they not came. I don't think my preacher has ever mentioned homosexuality. it is kind of like murder or robbery. people all ready know that its sin.

LOL you again...If a gay or lesbian couple attends our church we don't run them off HOWEVER our pastor preaches against their lifestyle so unless they realize the error of their way they most likely won't come back.

Nothing -- unless they make a scene. Same as anyone else.
How would anyone know that they were gay anyway?
