    The Methodist Church has always been staunchly anti-gay. Some are trying to change it, but the bigotry remains.

      It seems the United Methodists are the more tolerant ones compared to the Global Methodists? I’m not sure, like I said, I’m not religious in any sense and by and large avoid this world. Apologies for any ignorance on my side. My experience is entirely anecdotal. The only thing I can truly say with full confidence is that this one particular church was a generally decent and tolerant group of people.

        I grew up Methodist, although it never took with me. I always thought it was a fairly tolerant sect, until they started going after the gays. I’m not gay, but I have lots of friends and family who are, and I won’t tolerate any intolerance toward them. Not that I’d be considering ever going to church again, but if I were, Methodists would be off the list.
