@gentleNest2611 I don't think you necessarily have to choose. I know there are several Muslim LGBT movements across different countries, maybe you can try to learn more about them or even get in contact, in order to listen to their perspective and learn more about how they manage to conjugate Mulism beliefs with their sexuality. I know it's not easy to look into it, if your family or community has always been pretty conservative about sexuality, but it's worth it giving it a chance. You can still make up your mind and figuring things out for yourself, but why not trying to look into different perspectives without having to give up a part of yourself?

@gentleNest2611 It's like choosing between heaven and *** and I think you get what I'm saying, bro.

@gentleNest2611 some people have harder trials than others. Thats how I see homosexuality in light of islam. Some Muslims these days have found interpretations to allow for acceptance of homosexuality in islam - i dont support those.

Abstinence is hard even for those who are straight and told to not choose fornication .... puberty starts at 16...marriage may happen by 30.... so youre living off self pleasure for 15 years minimum ... if you intend to take your religious beliefs along.... is it easy ? Not at all... but some people do manage to do it.....

I wont say you try to change your sexual orientation because some people say thats not possible and a source of further trauma. But I know of some people who through experimentation with homosexuality -- arrived back to being straight. As something they wanted and identified as the right thing for themselves.

You figure out what is your answer. Im just sharing my knowledge - hope it helps 💛
