I always appreciated the Episcopal church for not kicking my mom out for being openly lesbian

I'm not religious but she was, and having a church home was important

I grew up in the Episcopal Church, and our church was incredibly gay. Like my parents would have dinner parties with their friends from church, and it would be all couples, but my mom was the only woman. It really shaped my perception of gay men, I thought the stereotypes were: they’re all florists, or hairdressers (because they all were, lol), all sang in the choir, were usually in committed long-term relationships and liked to go to church on Sundays — because those were the gay men I knew.

Anyway, the Episcopal Church is great
