Following the Civil War, the Baptists had the most black members, next came the Methodists, and the Presbyterians came in a distant third.

In 2005, there were 7.9 million laypersons, as reported by General Council on Finance and Administration of The United Methodist Church. The February 2008 U.S. Religious Landscape Survey conducted by The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 5.4% of Americans are of the mainline Methodist tradition (this designation would include persons who identified themselves as Methodist or as a member of a particular Methodist denomination). This percentage does not include Methodists who are not considered mainline, such as the Free Methodist Church, a church of the Wesleyan movement, or a self-identified "evangelical Methodist." 5.1% of Americans are United Methodist. 0.6% of all Americans identify as Methodist in the Historically Black Tradition. Altogether, 6.2% of the adult population are Methodist (of all kinds). This composes 12.1% of all Protestants.
Would a Methodist pastor marry a lesbian couple?
No. According to the official policy of the church, United Methodist pastors are not allowed to celebrate unions of same gender couples. Such rites are not allowed in United Methodist churches or on church property. Were a United Methodist pastor to marry a lesbian couple s/he would be in danger of being brought up on charges that could result in the severing of his/her connection to the conference. They could be defrocked. However, several have done so in protest. The results often end in defrocking. The United Methodist Church has had internal debate on homosexuality since at least 1972. To date, while homosexual persons are individuals of sacred worth, the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Many within the denomination are working to change this stance. The Church is not of one mind on this issue.

What is difference between aldersgate Methodist church and First United Methodist Church?
You haven't given enough information for your question to be answered. There are many "First" United Methodist Churches. Often there's one per town/city. There are also many "Aldersgate" United Methodist Churches, though "First" is by far the most common name. Aldersgate is a street in London, England where John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed." John Wesley began the Methodist movement within the Anglican Church, which eventually became it's own church. From the information you've given, the only difference is the name. However, in any town where two churches of these names exist, you would be able to draw any number of comparisons such as worship attendance, worship style, theological hallmarks, and etc. You'd be better off searching for websites for each church or calling each church directly to find out the differences you're interested in.
What is the United Methodist Church's position on same-sex marriage?
Although the Methodist church does not encourage or support divorce, it will perform marriages of people who had divorced another person.
