There are quite a few Presbyterian denominations currently. The PCUSA is probably the most well known “liberal” denomination for ordaining women and homosexuals as pastors and getting involved in the “woke” side of social justice issues.
Definitely true overall, but fortunately there are exceptions. We live in a small town in Nevada now and there is only one Presbyterian church in town. It's PCUSA, but the pastor is a staunch conservative who boasts about being a gun owner and a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. He voted for Trump both times (he told me this) and is the chaplain of the local chapter of the Republican Party. I knew the inherent risk of joining a church from the PCUSA, but as long as this guy is the pastor I have no worries. When he leaves, we'll have to see what happens next

The largest PCUSA church in America is actually quite conservative. I suspect that's true for TEC, UMC, etc.
Some churches have enough wealth/power they can ignore the national org but can't make a break because of legal ramifications.

Presbyterian church polity is supposed to provide checks and balances to prevent quick apostasy and to deal with congregations or even entire presbyteries that go astray from orthodoxy. It’s tough when an entire denomination goes bad, though.
