United Methodist is a tricky example to use. I know because I was one of their clergy at one point.
Officially they still ban gay clergy, even after the recent schism where the most-bigoted group left and formed the "Global Methodist Church."
American United Methodists (especially the clergy) tend to be fairly progressive, but the African and Asian branches of the church are massive and extremely conservative. They've managed to keep the church from being able to change its official stance on homosexuality, which is that it's "incompatible with Christian teaching."
