From 1976 to 1977 Glaser was a member of the task force assigned by the Presbyterian Church to prepare a report on homosexuality; Already at this point Glaser was openly gay . The rejection of the final report of the task force report by the Presbyterian Church meant for Glaser that he could not be ordained a pastor, although he was allowed to continue to serve as a congregation elder or presbyter.
On November 1, 2006, Glaser was appointed pastor of the "Christ Covenant" congregation in the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in San Francisco , having previously served as the interim pastor of an MCC congregation in Decatur, Georgia .
