That's an excellent question. I am not sure I have an answer for all of the details required to resolve the issue. Ironically, I think a marriage or commitment of some sort would be part of the answer, but the church is currently rejecting that option. I think a significant change in the overall mindset of church members regarding homosexuality is necessary first, similar to how race relations evolved over time. I think it is happening, but it may take quite a while.
