The real world is complicated and the writings of a select few fail miserably to explain. Divorce, psychological things and the like are taboo. I realized I didnt know people all that well, as shown by the falling out between me and the longtime roommate? In what other culture would you keep that sort of thing a secret from a close friend?
I realized my views on the world in truth haven't changed too much.

In most traditional cultures you might be inclined to keep that "sort of thing" secret for fear of being rejected for it. You certainly might keep it a secret from a Christian friend given how many Christians feel about it. That doesn't just apply to LC Christians. But, yes, it seemed to me during the last days of my participation in the LC that we were engaging in displays of pseudo-oneness in meeting of people who didn't really like or know each other very well. Sexuality in general was off limits for discussion, to say nothing of homosexuality. There wasn't even language for talking about homosexuality except to condemn it. It was literally, "unspeakable."
