I agree with you, pretty much 100%. It's not a gender issue; it's a traditional vs. post-modernist, a leftist vs. middle of the road, etc. Leftist priests are leftist priests, regardless of gender.
However, if you haven't already, you will find that is not a particulary popular stance here.
Oh, I fully expect to be vilified.
Our current priest has told me sickening stories about how she has been treated by so-called Christians, including priests.
I cannot align myself with people who would behave that way, but neither do I like the liberal slant of the Episcopal church on a lot of political issues.
I understand that Bishop Jenkins, who has recently accepted a nomination for presiding Bishop, may be a good man who will genuinely try to bring the warring factions together.
He can't be any worse than Frank who totally capitulates and probably agrees with the militant left who, I think, actually want to drive conservatives out of the church.
My priest did not agree with the ordination of Gene Robinson; he's not just gay, he's lived a sinful lifestyle, he's proud of it, and besides that, he's a drunk.
In other words, a perfect Bishop for the left.
