I myself am single still, but when married I intend to love and dote on my own 'ewe lamb.' Christ's leadership of men is good, with men treating women they have authority over like Christ treats us (here I mean fathers and husbands). Anyone harsh with his wife or daughter better develop more fear of how Jesus will treat them. -
I'm perfectly fine being taught by a woman who can teach me something. And, I'd prefer a godly woman behind the pulpit than a heretical male. The issue of male headship shouldn't be taken to the degree of putting a bad man above a good woman, or of remaining ignorant because you don't want to hear what a woman has to say.
I don't think my position contradicts anything Paul said, because I take his words as apostolic rule, not law. And, so does everyone else. I've never been in a church that literally didn't let women say anything, and I doubt Paul has either. Still, I wouldn't join a church with a woman pastor, and neither would most men (including those hypocrites who approve of women pastors). -

I respect your right to think your position is untenable. I hope you will grant me the right to biblically disagree. -

As for the LGBTQ movement, your argument is apples to oranges, meaning it is an entirely different argument. I reject your attempt to make them correlate as one. They don't. If you wish for my opinion on alternative sexuality, you may start a new forum. -
"the hours set apart for public prayer, sermon, and solemn services; during sermon, quiet and silence, fixed places, singing of hymns, days set apart for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, the prohibition of Paul against women teaching in the Church, and such like....things of this nature are not necessary to salvation, and, for the edification of the Church, should be accommodated to the varying circumstances of each age and nation, it will be proper, as the interest of the Church may require, to change and abrogate the old, as well as to introduce new forms. I confess, indeed, that we are not to innovate rashly or incessantly, or for trivial causes. Charity is the best judge of what tends to hurt or to edify: if we allow her to be guide, all things will be safe....these are not fixed and perpetual obligations to which we are astricted....in those matters the custom and institutions of the country...declare what is to be done or avoided." —John Calvin -

Note the order: 'Priscilla and Aquila':
"I should not wonder but he put them in order according to quality rather than according to the rule of sex. He named Priscilla, first, because she was first in energy of character and attainments in Divine Grace. There is a precedence which, in Christ, is due to the woman when she becomes the leader in devotion and manifests the stronger mind in the things of God. It is well when Nature and Grace both authorize our saying, 'Aquila and Priscilla,' but it is not amiss when Grace outruns Nature and we hear of, 'Priscilla and Aquila.'" — Charles Spurgeon
