And this is one of the reasons I departed the Episcopal Church (in which I was raised and baptised) decades ago!!

You're not the only one. From Wikipedia:

A loss of 115,000 members was reported for the years 2003–5, which has been attributed in part to controversy concerning ordination of homosexuals to the priesthood and the election of Gene Robinson (who is openly gay) as Bishop of New Hampshire.[61]
