Still no gay pastors in PCUSA

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) decided in a fairly close vote (final vote tallies are not yet available) not to allow practicing homosexuals to serve as clergy in the denomination.

Last year the PCUSA's General Assembly had voted to delete a constitutional requirement that ministers, elders, and deacons must practice "fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness." Now with this recent vote, they delayed taking a further step into sexual chaos.

Would Abraham, King David or King Solomon been permitted to serve as pastors in the PCUSA? If not, should they? Abraham had three wives, one of them his half-sister.
