At the very least, you should embrace your husband’s Russian Orthodox heritage.
From a long line of Alabama Episcopalians. Grandfather was a rector in downtown Birmingham and took in the bloodied and battered during Bull Connor's rampages.
And, don't worry - you wouldn't be the first snowflake to leave for weak reasons. I'm sure the ACNA would love to have you.
I do split time between an Antiochian Orthodox Church and Episcopalian nowadays. I prefer a traditional liturgy and progressive theology - so, the Episcopal church is just right for me - but, I do love the Eastern liturgy and chanting... just not about to convert.

There's an Episcopal church 3 blocks away, I've been thinking of walking down there one day and checking out a service. It's a small church and it's in walking distance. Maybe i'll trot on down next weekend.

I've always wondered what goes on at Social Justice HQ when stories like this come out:
*BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!*
SJW #1: We've got a transphobic bigot refusing service to a trans person!
SJW #2: Deploy the social media outrage squad, assemble a protest team at the business site, and alert Huff Po and Salon!
SJW #1: Right away!
"BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEP*
SJW #2: Now what is it?!
SJW #1: Islamophobia alert! The person who refused service is a Muslim woman!
SJW2 #2: Shit! Log on to our twitter account and post some meme about solidarity between muslims and transgender people and how real Islam is a pro-LGBT religion
SJW #1: I'm on it!

This is where the GOP just shoots itself in the foot. Every other part of the Federal Gubmint outside DoD utilizes the quite robust GSA IT Schedule 70.

As a guy who worked for DISA for five years in acquisition, I can tell you first-hand that they are redundant.

https://www.fedscoop.com/white-house-op ... edi-cloud/The White House doesn’t like the idea of shuttering the Defense Information Systems Agency and moving Pentagon IT acquisition services to other Defense Department components, as was proposed in the House version of the fiscal 2019 authorization bill for the military.
In a Statement of Administration Policy on the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act issued by the Executive Office of the President on Tuesday evening, the White House pledged its support for keeping DISA as DOD’s centralized IT acquisition arm. Closing it and transferring its responsibilities elsewhere in the department, the document says, would “increase the cost of acquiring information technology, weaken the Department’s ability to secure its cyber networks, and inhibit DISA’s mission to provide seamless communication to warfighters and senior leaders.”

I implore you to use your powers to suspend the dated Posse Comitatus Act, which unfairly limits your ability to use domestic militarization to respond to crises, and send in the resources necessary to stem the violence overrunning Chicago. Let me explain why this measure is necessary, starting with my story.
I am a black college professor who came to this country as a legal immigrant from Jamaica 32 years ago with $120 in my pocket. I worked for a year to save enough money for one semester of college, and for four years worked up to 45 hours per week while going to school full time. I graduated magna cum laude and then earned a scholarship to pursue a doctorate in philosophy. Not once did I believe that the state or America owed me anything except a chance to earn a living and pay my way as I journeyed through life.
Turns out I might be a little gay. 89Hen 11/7/17
