re: Why do churches get so worked up over gays?

Our local catholic school fired two teachers mid-year, one because of the gay, and the other for having a child and living with the baby daddy, who she was not married to.

One of the replacements was then fired, after it was realized that the replacement also had a baby and was living with the baby daddy, out of wedlock (with a wedding scheduled for later this year).

In all three situations, it was a group of parents who "busted" the teachers, and turned them in to the school admin / pastor, who removed them.

We hear it all the time, the church is the people. Certain people get worked up about certain church teachings more than other teachings (and other church members)
