I also know Mormons and Scientologists also have a large support system for people leaving them.
Suppressing yourself is not "leaving" anything. It is an unhealthy denial and is harmful. And old book of mythology does not constitute our modern scientific understanding of human behavior or sexual behavior for that matter.
You know a lot of religious people using shame and fear and control, that is not help, that is metal abuse.
suppression of the urge to smoke is how one leaves or quits smoking. suppression of one's desire to drink is how one quits drinking. suppression of sexual thoughts or activities is how one remains faithful to their spouce when away or out of town. like wise suppression of homosexual feelings is how one leaves a life style that has become toxic to them. If and when a person wants to stop having those feelings and many people do despite the propaganda against people who leave that community they seek help generally with the church as it is an unpopular thing to help people leave.
