the aforementioned cognitive dissonance... actually not that big a deal
That's really good to know. Your previous comment, and my observations of other people, made me think otherwise. One acquaintance has chosen to remain indefinitely "in the closet" because her parents--both devout evangelical Christians belonging to the same local church as my mom--would freak. Badly. And from my glimpses of the church doctrine, I can sort of understand why.
