Oh, yes I left it behind long ago, never quite really believed any of it, although I conformed for social survival. All it took to leave was complete social suicide, I left behind my entire family for a few years (have since reconnected with the good ones). I lost all my friends from before the age of 30. It was an incredible cost. Fuck everything they stand for.
Sorry that happen to you. Glad you were able to get away from it.
I was happier with gay friends I could talk to about things. But my parents came around. They still were not happy but knew there was nothing that they could do. I was an adult and supporting myself.
