They were actually brought up before that, and nobody really responded to it, IIRC. (see post #18)
Your response is not really on point... repentance vs. acceptance.... "Acceptance" without instruction in correct behavior is tacit approval, and is not Godly....
Accepting that a person is a flawed human is correct, but it should never be "I realize your lifestyle is un-Godly, but since you are a flawed human, I'll condone your un-willingness to change"
EVERYONE is flawed, and falls short of "perfection".... it's the intent of the heart that makes a difference. To "accept" a person that willingly/happily lives a lifestyle (whatever the issue is) that is un-Godly is NOT what the church is supposed to do.
The church is a hospital for sinners.... but not for sinners that insist that their sin is NOT sin, it's just their choice.
