It was a member of a "traditional religion" who came through my closed gate this morning, letting my dogs out onto the road, and waking me up on one of the few mornings I get to sleep in, to try to convert me to his Christian religion. I wouldn't exactly call that being in the closet!
I have never had my privacy intruded upon like that by anyone except Christians out to gain converts; who have in the past gone so far as to look in my windows to determine if I was home (I was just getting out of the shower so they got an eyeful when they peered into my bedroom window) even though I had told them to never disturb me again. In spite of being told to leave me and my family alone, and in spite of the No Soliciting sign, they came to my home twice a year for 15 years until I finally told them that if they ever set foot on my property again I would let my dogs out to deal with them and charge them with trespassing. Then they just accosted my children out in the yard or playing in the street and tried to convert them. If I had tried to convert their children to my religious beliefs they probably would have wanted to have me arrested. If "traditional religions" want respect and sensitivity to their feelings they should start treating members of other religions with respect and sensitivity.
