"All right, then, I'll go to hell”
Huckleberry Finn's friend Jim, a runaway slave, has been locked up in a shed and has been sold. Huck is thinking about what to do and remembers what he learned in Sunday School of what happens to folks who assist runaway slaves.
“People that acts as I’d been acting about [Jim] goes to everlasting fire.” 
(After all, the Bible is clear: “Slaves obey your earthly masters with respect and fear”- Ephesians 6:5.) 
Huck decides to write a letter to the lady from whom Jim ran away to let her know where Jim can be found. Huck believes he'd been close to going to Hell for aiding Jim as he fled his enslavement, but now Huckleberry feels washed clean from his sins. Then Huck starts thinking of all the good times he had with Jim, and how he is now the only friend Jim has, and yet he is going to betray Jim. He looks at the letter he had written.
“I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: "All right, then, I'll go to hell"- and tore it up.”
This is the moral climax of the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Huck makes a moral choice based on his own valuation of Jim's friendship and human worth, a decision in direct opposition to the things he has been taught.
I feel the LDS Church puts queer people in this same quandary. We aren't equal to the other humans around us. We must live in a way that doesn't fit our orientation or gender identity and then we can go to heaven. But should we dare fall in love with someone and spend our life with them, or choose to love ourselves and express how we experience our gender identity, then no Celestial Kingdom for you. You're forever cast off to one of the lower kingdoms.
How many queer Latter-day Saints receive comforting messages from God that it's fine to move forward, that they are created this way? How many fall in love and then have to make this terrible choice of heaven or the person they love? How many can trade in their dysphoria if they will accept themselves and live authentic to their identity? How is it the thing that feels the most right and brings the most joy is also the thing which our religion strictly forbids?
We're reminded that there's eternal joy if we can struggle to deny ourselves in this life. But then we read in the Book of Mormon that "men are that they might have joy," and yet I'm to go without? I need to be miserable now in the hopes of joy once I'm dead?
"All right, then, I'll go to hell"

Why am I in fandoms that are so niche fr. Not exagerrating, fandoms that have like, 10 people in it. Sometimes I'm legit there being the only one interacting until someone gets fixated on this fandom and join me for like a week before I'm alone again.

Honestly I think the memes/discourse around Huckleberry Finn having the N Word in it obscures the fact that it's, like, a genuinely really good book even if one ignores the very heavy-handed (in a good way) anti-slavery message.
I loved that book so much as a little kid. In a time when I was obsessed with fantasy and sci fi, it was one of only a few books without any fantastical elements that could truly capture my heart and mind.
