Well that's not what I meant, I'm not saying it suffices to choose a religion and not to follow the rules, I'm just saying it doesn't deny you the right to belong to it.
Islam, as well as any other religion, doesn't have to be modernized, but it has to be treated in relation to the time we live in, and yes we do have bits that say things about gays but about women being possessions? the only bits in the quran about that are the ones describing how badly women were treated in the time during which islam was still a new religion, so yes, I believe we should understand it in context, not just blindly apply it but at the same time, not "Change" it either.
