Matt, I'm sorry you are hurt, but don't take it too much to heart. Even in a close Christian fellowship there are going to be times when you are wounded by your friends. There is no excuse for it. But as long as we are in the flesh people are going to make mistakes. This isn't a reflection on you, it's a reflection of the ignorance of people.
Reminds me of a mistake I once made. I was teaching a young woman bible studies, she was baptised, and had received the Holy Ghost. I drove by her apartment to pick her up for church and she told me she had to go to her AA meeting. I said "you have the Holy Ghost now, you don't need to go to your meeting." Next time I saw her she was dead drunk. I think I should have let her choose to go to the AA meeting instead of insisting I had all the answers.
