@fcktheworld587 Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

For an example of personal experience, I left the Mormon religion and my life was no doubt made much harder by that decision. I could not, in good conscience, remain there.

This is not to say that every community is a negative community. When it becomes a negative force, that's when you shouldn't put up with it anymore.

Shying away from the realities of abuse (toward adults and children) from the LGBT community just to ensure that you get your fulfillment at the end of the day is no way to live and is morally bankrupt.
