I'm fairly confident that I would've left the Mormon church too.

For comparison's sake, what is the retention rate of practicing Mormons?

The simple answer is this;

If you were raised in faith x and are still faith x, if faith x was Mormonism you'd probably still be Mormon.

If you were raised in faith x and are now faith y (or a different iteration of x) you'd might not be for the same reasons, however you might have had thoughts that mitigated your concerns and ended up making you stay.

If you were raised in faith x and now have no faith; i.e do not have the need for any religion/religious ethics, then you'd probably still have no faith, though some parts of Mormonism might have mitigated even that.

My sexuality would no doubt have caused estrangement first, before I later, as in reality, lost faith.
