Yes, it's exhausting... In any case I want to hang up a pride flag outside my home soon, to at least show some solidarity. I'm afraid it might lead to vandalism, but we'll see, I guess.

The comparison with Mormons is a good one. We thankfully don't have those here, but we do have Jehovah's creeps.

    Not sure between the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses which of them is worse. They both share a lot of commonality. In that both were created by some dude to excuse their behavior and control the community (in my opinion). Obviously deeper than that and plenty of differences but both of them I find have pretty dubious history.
