I didnt say the movement didnt back gay marriage. In fact, many religious groups do too.
Gay Marriage And Religion Go Hand-In-Hand Among Many Young Americans: Survey
Your link is not applicable.
Show me any official church policy that backs it.
I did. You choice to ignore it doesnt make it not true.

One little church in KY does not all churches make. In fact, I'd guess the reason this made news is because they are almost all NOT like that.
We can argue about it but it has been my experience that most are.
Though it is not necessarily church policy it is frowned upon by most church members.
And if we want to take it a little further let's talk about every major church and their aversion to gays.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is a mainline Protestant denomination headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The ELCA officially came into existence on January 1, 1988, by the merging of three churches. As of December 31, 2009, it had 4,543,037 baptized members, with 2,527,941 of them counted as active participants in their congregations.[7] It is the seventh-largest religious body[8] and the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.[
The Episcopal Church (also officially known as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America) is a mainline Anglican Christian church found mainly in the United States (including its unincorporated territories), but also in Honduras, Taiwan, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, the British Virgin Islands and parts of Europe.[2][3][4] The Episcopal Church is the Province of the Anglican Communion in the United States and most other territories where it has a presence (excluding Europe). The Episcopal Church describes itself as being "Protestant, Yet Catholic".[5] As of 2011, the Episcopal Church claims a baptized membership of 1,951,907 individuals.[6]
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), or PC(USA), is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination in the United States. Part of the Reformed tradition, it is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. The PC(USA) was established by the 1983 merger of the former Presbyterian Church in the United States, whose churches were located in the Southern and border states, with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, whose congregations could be found in every state.
With 2,077,158 members and 13,462 ordained ministers in 10,657 congregations in 2009[1], the reunited denomination is the most visible and influential Presbyterian denomination in North America.[
There is enough conflict between the two groups without adding misinformation to the mix.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.
