Welcome, azheathen. You'll get lots of good support from here, I think. I grew up in SLC as a non-Mormon, so I have some idea of what you're going through. As for your dad, I recently met a father and son duo who were ex-Mormons. The son gave up on the religion first, and then Dad ended up following his lead -- although it took some time. Your outcome may not be as lucky, but hey -- you never know! It does happen. (They were so cute together.

Kudos to you for standing up for the equal rights and protections of the LGBT community. Against the tide upon which you were flinging yourself, that's an exceptional accomplishment -- especially for one so young. Well done, you!
Have you read Sam Harris's The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason? It's a good little read, and somehow, I think it will only strengthen your resolve.
Again, welcome to you!
