The church knows that it doesn't want to be LGBTetc. It's a small entrenched minority that is flaunting their disrespect of the laity and the council. Now that minority is trying to force a schism in their favor by sheer obnoxiousness when the bylaws are against them. It's like going into a room and farting so bad to make the true owners want to leave, even while the cops are on their way to kick the intruders out for trespassing.

This is what happens when the minority organizes and comes after the dispersed majority.
