What are the "liberal Protestant" denominations?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

UU attendees are like 90% gay dudes in their 40s and 50s.

With a lesbian pastor. 

At least, that was the case in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

This reminds me of an interesting thing I've noticed for some time: religious LGBTQ are predominantly male. My Episcopalian church has a significant population of gay men but not gay women, trans people or others.

Has anyone found a sociological reason for this? It goes against my (I suppose stereotypical) observation that women tend to be more religious on balance than man.

It could have to do with the especially strong appeal to LGBT women of non-Christian religions or new religious movements like Western Buddhism and various neopagan currents.

The answer the the question is, I guess, it depends.

In Scotland, the Episcopalian, Methodist and Presbyterian CoS are 'liberal' compared to Western/Anglosphere denominational counterparts and the Catholic Church, rhetorically, probably more 'conservative'. Urban churches are either hyper liberal, or hyper conservative (often appealing to minority congregations) and rural churches generally closer to the median.

This is truer in the US as well these days than people tend to assume, although it's complicated somewhat by the even more hyperconservative suburban/exurban Evangelical (or Evangelical-influenced Catholic) milieu.

The Pew survey was done before Trump.  I expect the Episcopalians have become even more D since.

I have no better contribution than this, but as a man I cannot truly *get* a Universe that doesn’t have a purpose of sorts, no matter how “not that religious” I become … and I know a TON of guys like that. 🤷🏼‍♂️
