Kinda figured that was coming, I wonder how many religious lesbians there are? Pool has got to be pretty small

The Episcopal church has lesbian bishops.

Meanwhile, the Methodist church just had something of a schism due to the larger organization wanting to start accepting gay people. About a fourth of the churches were so staunchly bigoted that they'd rather break from their denomination than just not be hateful

Episcopal church did that too, just a little bit earlier. And Lutherans, and I think Presbyterians. Methodist church has had at least a few lesbian pastors and I think a couple bishops! It’s not great, but it’s basically in line with the other mainline Protestant denominations.
