Matt Cook was brought up in the Exclusive Brethren (now known as Plymouth Brethren). The Brethren is a religious organisation, often referred to as a cult, known for its controlling and conservative ways.
Very few people born into the Brethren leave.
As a gay man growing up in the church in Western Australia, Matt knew he was different - and he knew he had to get out.
