Sexually confused

[Kuma]

I urge you to take refuge in Allah and to not give in to those homosexual desires.

"So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. Therefore, when thou art free, still labour hard. And to thy Lord turn thy attention". [Qur'an 94:5-8]

So I guess if you plan to live in the Islamic Caliphate, it would be better not to be gay, or at least not to be public about it. This is especially true if you plan to be a Shahid, as I think the 72 virgins will probably be of the opposite gender!

To the OP: It probably does not surprise you that some religious fundamentalists believe that homosexuality is a sin. There are also religious fundamentalists who believe in blowing up nursery schools to achieve their political objectives, prohibiting women from driving or from walking the streets without a burqa, chopping off limbs as a punishment for theft, requiring female genital mutilation, murdering journalists with whom they disagree, blowing up airplanes, etc. So I would encourage you not to make your decisions based on what some religious fundamentalist tells you god or allah requires. You may very well be straight (even if you have some attraction to women), or some day you may decide that you are gay or bisexual. Any of those things are fine, and there's no need to decide now. Your character is what matters, not who you might be attracted to.
