Serious Conversation about lesbian/gays (allowed) in church

This may be long, so i apologize in advance. I dont want this to be some religion trashing thread or gay bashing thread. I just have something that is bothering me and wondering what other peoples opinions are, so here goes.

I live in south central mississippi. Small town, everyone knows everyone. I am a christian, and regularly attend my southern baptist church as i have for the past 32 years. There is this other Southern Baptist chuch in the same comminity. This all started off 2 yesrs ago. We had a church softball league (that we have had the past 40 years), a Womens and mens league. Well this particular church is the one who has the field so its always their rules. They think they are above everyone else. While there are some very good people in the church i respect and been friends with my whole life, there are others that are stuck in their own stubborn ways and its their way or no way.

So, back to the softball league. First of all for 4-5 years leading up to a couple years ago they said since it is their field, they make the rules. And only members of the church can play, no one else. Well several of the other teams made the argument that isnt very christian like. What if the only time these guys heard a prayer or Gods name was at that softball field 2 nights a week. That it should be used as an outreach program not as a function to shun people out because they are not members. Sorry to get off track from the title but trying to give a little background.

Well 2 years ago ended up being our final year of church league softball. They shut down their field and said no more, because some people in their church found out that THEIR VERY OWN girls softball team had a couple of lesbians on it. Basically they got embarrassed and shut the whole thing down.. stupid, but its their field.

Fast forward to last week when i pick up the local newspaper. There is a BIG write up from this church saying no gay/lesbians are allowed there, and they will be asked to leave if they come. And give several bible verses saying how God said it is wrong, etc etc.

While i do agree that it does say in the Bible it is wrong, and i do not agree with homosexuality. I have no right to deny someone from comming to my church. I would want to welcome them in and hope something I hear something that touches their heart and changes their mind. It disgust me more that a fellow church in my community is denying someone entry, than that person being a homosexual. Things like this are what gives "reigion" a bad name. Not every church is this way. Ours is not this way, and we both are southern baptist. I just cant comprehend how they think they are better than anyone else to deny them access to Gods word. You cant pick and choose what verses from the Bible you want to follow. There are people in that church who are adulters, who have lied, who have stolen. All sin is the same in Gods eyes.

Anyway, i told you it was long. What is your opininons? Especially people who attend church regularly.
