I agree with nearly everything you said! There's one minor fact check I would make, the second largest Mormon denomination is not FLDS, but the Community of Christ, that split from the larger LDS after Joseph Smith went public for polygamy, and rejected the Brigham Young resettlement plan. They stayed in the Midwest and were formally called the Reorganized CLDS, or RLDS, until 2001 when the adopted the new name.
They are moderate to liberal theologically, ordain women, and mostly support same sex marriage, especially in the USA
I'm aware of them, and you're right that they're the second largest -- I meant more like "two of the largest" though. I edited it.
I am sad to report that I've recently been in contact with a woman who is in the Community of Christ, who is currently being removed from leadership due to her position on affirming polyamory, however. Obviously, an issue near and dear to my heart.

I kinda love them.

Yeah, they have a difficult history with polygamy that they mistakenly apply to polyamory.
This CoC channel from Toronto is pretty awesome.
