Can’t really pretend that it’s not interpreted that way by some Jewish people. Not Reformed but certainly among the Orthodox.

Well it is also very important for Christians that molesting boys is just “oopsies” but not gay.

Considering how in the original Greek text of the New Testament the Apostles were all described as being between 10 and 19 years of age hanging out with 30-something year old Jesus, and how Jesus’ crucifixion was a result of him being caught in the middle of the night in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) with a naked boy, yeah I’d say they have a complicated relationship with gay molestation of the underage.
Certainly not the mainstream view taught in church but classical philologist Dr. Ammon Hillman has the receipts.

I mean, Jesus has limitless love, right?

It’s less about it being gay that’s the problem than the fact that it’s an unspeakably horrific crime.
Intentionally covering for pedophiles, in my mind, removes any shred of credibility for the “moral guidance” offered by said organization. I was raised Catholic but I think even if I hadn’t become irreligious as I am now, I would still shun the Catholic church for a denomination less insanely corrupt and evil.
