Two churches weren’t anti-Gay. Oak Cliff Church of Christ, Christ Episcopal church. So the rate of homophobia is 9 out of 11.
Churches are going to have their homophobia smeared on their face.
Saint Cecilia Catholic Church

Good Shepherd Oak Cliff (Cliff House) - ECO
ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians.
ECO is their name, not an acroynm.
They are located in Irving, Texas. DFW is really a cesspool of Christian homophobia.

The focus of this church is to make homophobia somehow hip to reach out to the younger generation.
This homophobic essay is bloated with the talk of “love,” and is how Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson’s statements don’t help with the homophobic mission of Christianity.

“A lot of Christians are scared… should they attend a gay wedding/”

This is a document about their purpose. I also included the Internet Archive link. The big issue was about Gays, but they then try to downplay it, though it was one of the reasons many churches joined them. This appears to be the new tactic in homophobic Churches, keep the homophobia quiet, so they can lure people into the church, and when the individual is committed, bring on the anti-Gay doctrines.
Unfortunately, sometimes the story of ECO is framed the other way. Some people--and often the media--still paint ECO and our member churches as fundamentally reacting against gay ordination. This simply is not true. It is important to remember that the initial White Paper that talked about a new Reformed body and invited people to the Minneapolis gathering was written in January 2011, before there was a change in ordination standards. The authors of the White Paper cast a vision for churches devoted more to mission, ministry, and connectionalism instead of internal dynamics. From the start, ECO has been a movement grounded in what we are for, not against. And we need to keep remembering the core things we are "for" that propel us forward. [Bold Face added.]
This was about why they need to break up, to avoid Gay clergy.
