I know plenty of churches that once you say that you are gay they kick you out and you aren't a member anymore. This is horrible.
I think that gay churches would be alot more open to all kinds of people than a 'straight' church. As long as the straight people are accepting of the rest of the congregation and doensn't try to change the people in the church I think they should

There are an increasing number of Christian denominations that are gay-friendly. The Unitarians, Episcopalians, and many others don't turn away gays; in fact, some of these churches have gay clergy members. The Metropolitan Community churches have, as far as I know, pretty much always been gay-friendly. So maybe you should say that "some" churches turn away gays, but generally speaking, nobody's checking people's gay-versus-straight credentials at the church doors. As to whether or not a predominantly gay church should accept straights, that's up to the individual church in question.

I've never heard of a Gay Church. I think that would go against the whole concept of church, and I'm certain that the straights who don't let gays into their church would oppose gays being in church in general, so I think it would be a better idea if gays chose a different type of place for worship. A temple could be a pretty cool idea or a synogag. lol. I don't think that any typical place of worship will work, so maybe they can make one up all brand new and on their own; then they wouldn't have to worry about church etiquettes whether it be straights or not

I know of alot of churches that have gay and straight people in them. I don't know where you are getting your information but any church that strictly teaches the Bible probably won't have many gays in them just because the words in the book condemn homosexuality as a sin. That has nothing to do with them not being allowed there. They just wouldn't feel comfortable in a church like that.

That's a lie. I am Baptist and my church does not discriminate against gays. There are several in our congregation. Our Bishop does not make them feel uncomfortable but he does let the church know his views on homosexuality based on his interpretation of The Word. Who told you churches don't allow gays? Wake up.

Why wouldn't gays allow straight folks to come to church?

I suppose Gay Churches can do whatever they like, being private organizations and all.

The Bible is clear on the sin of queer sex if God says its wrong that makes it wrong so your question makes no sense since God would not recognize a gathering of queers as being a church.
