I don't necessarily disagree (or, at least, I don't have the data to disagree). However, I'm definitely not unique in my experience. I can think of at least half a dozen people at my church (out of an active membership of ~150) that fit the description of "got fed up with the conservative politics of the 'Evangelical' church in America and sought out a church that better matches what we believe".
Note, there's a difference here between churches that are happy to just ignore things like LGBT equality (there are certainly plenty of "big" churches that fall in this category) and churches that are actively open and affirming (that is far less common among "big" churches, in my experience).
