I've never seen an ELCA Lutheran that teaches a rigorist biblicist reading of the Scriptures. Most of those type of folks left in 2009, and those that stayed certainly do not determine what is normal in our church. And they were always only a small part of our tradition.
My pastor has pretty harsh words for anybody that would cause a scandal against the gay community in Jesus name. It is not wrong to speak up about what our church teaches concerning the dignity of gay people, or how other churches are frankly wrong in seeing this as an issue worthy of contempt in our culture.
