Unless you wish to unequivocally state your "evangelical" church would do the above, methinks it is you who is the liar.
My church regularly has gays, alcoholics, porn addicts, lust buckets, rageholics, and narcissists on stage

Do they teach that an alcoholic, porn addict, "lust bucket", rageholic, and narcissist is all fine and dandy with God? Or do they teach that Christians should not do those things?

They teach that regardless of your sin struggles and circumstances, Jesus can heal everything, and that God loves you and will use you for good to bring Him glory - such as getting on stage in front of thousands and proclaiming the good news of the Gospel

There were only four people on the planet at the beginning of Creation: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel. I can only assume that God sent two women down from heaven to mate with the sons.
Can you say "incest," boys and girls?

I KNEW you could!

Good on them.

What I find amazing is that we can teach that, and no one gets upset about us saying that about THOSE sins and those issues (which every single man and woman alive suffers from, or similar sins), yet if we DARE to mention the darling issue of homosexuality, we suddenly get branded as bigots.

Because you are. Man up and own it instead of blaming your god-thing.

The world believes that you need a spouse to be complete, and because 'God won't allow' a gay person to get married, God is denying them something that is so fundamental to their well-being and sufficiency that he can't possibly be good

Well, there's that. And then there's drowning all the world's kittens and puppies and children in a fit of pique.

I suspect the god-thing of the OT had orange-blonde hair, pursed lips, and tiny hands.

I'm sorry, was there a logical point or anything in there you wanted addressed or was it just an outlet for your irrational projections and mental instability?
