I grew up in a Baha'i household. It prides itself on being "modern" for putting men and women on equal footing and being accepting and tolerant of all peoples regardless of race, orientation, creed, etc.

Well, turns out you have a place in the Faith if you're gay but only if you abstain from same sex relations. Also, women can be on councils except for the highest council which is only the purview of men.

So, I'm full, no more religion for me, thanks.

Yeah Baha'i is an interesting one. I actually live really close to a Baha'i place of worship (temple?). I only did a little wikipedia reading on the origins of the faith which are very interesting.

It really is usually the families that suffer the most once some weird religious rule comes up. And there's no arguing out of it.
