muslim lesbians
hi hello, how are you
i have a question for every muslim lesbian woman here.
i know that in your religion it is a sin to be homosexual. i know that the feelings are not sinful, just acting upon them is. i have a very close muslim friend, who i fell in love a bit, and i know that she would never go against her religion or family to be with someone of the same gender, which breaks my heart a little bit every time i think about it.
but at the same time, i have also seen and heard about muslim woman, who chose to be with a woman even though it may go against their religion. i would like to know how or when you chose to choose yourself and your desires above your religion or family. was it hard for yourself and your family? how did you accept it and how do you align it with your personal beliefs? were your family supportive or not at all? did or do you feel any shame about liking the same gender?
i’m asking because i’m genuinely curious. as a christian woman myself i know that in christianity it is also a sin to be homosexual. however i grew up in a non-strict and very open household. my father is atheist and my mother christian as well, but both of them have gay friends and are completely tolerate and supportive towards the lgbtq+ community. they know my own attraction towards woman and have no problems with that.
i have never experienced being ashamed of my sexuality and i would just like to know how your experience with that was or still is.
