"Personally reject" basically means refuse to ever be a part of it yourself, and if brought up in it to actually leave the church, and join a different affirming church if you're still into that (because of course I know plenty of people who did that, yada yada...)

I ask because maybe I'm interpreting things wrong but some people here despite being on the left seem to think that it is, or is still "wrong" in some way.

Pro tip: if your God happens to agree with you on everything that you think, odds are you’ve created God in your own image, and not the other way around.
Wouldn't that also be true for people who think God agrees with everything in the denomination they just happened to be raised in? That's sort of the logical conclusion if ethnic background and one's upbringing was the sole determinator of religious affiliation as some here seem to wish was the case.

LGBT issues are just one sliver of a whole gigantic pie known as catholic teaching.
Ok, and?

And to reject the Catholic church just because one disagrees with a sliver of Catholic teaching, is foolish.
Really LGBT issues are just the most obvious and easy to attack example, they're not the only reason people who convert to liberal churches. I could list a very long list of reasons I could never be Catholic. But it's also a very "personal" one, what should a person who wants to have a same-sex wedding in a church do? For them that's not a very small slice of Catholic teaching and would be a big issue.
