Back in 2019 the Methodist Church met to vote on the inclusion of its LGBT members.

The Methodists are thinking we have gays, we have a gay issue, we have queer people who are trying to get ordained. We have clergy

trying to perform same-sex marriages. The problem is none of this is is technically

allowed. The voting didn't go great.

The LGBT observers were locked out of the room and as the vote was happening you could hear their fists pounding on the doors.

But that vote, which was to continue excluding gay members, only narrowly passed, and about 25% of the more conservative U.S.

congregations saw the writing on the wall and they left the

denomination.

Then earlier this month, the Methodists voted on this question again, and today explained

was there for the debates, for the songs, for Methodist trivia night, and for the results.
