We are not singling out homosexuals by these statutes, as we do not recognize the ordination of heterosexuals who are practicing sex outside of wedlock or who are living in any other apparent sin of sexuality. We hold such behaviors as immoral in accordance with the Teachings of God's Word.  We love all people of all races and sexual orientations; however, we do not approve of all behavior. Adherence to these beliefs is the foundation of our morality and religion. This is our Religious Right under the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
