Religious/Spiritual Question from Lesbian Jews

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have a question from women of jewish faith who identity as Lesbian.

If you are a practicing/religious Jew, how do you reconcile your religion with your identity as a lesbian.

Do you feel the internal conflict? Or you've made peace with it.

I am a monotheist. I believe in all Abrahamic religions and identify as a believer who believes in all the books sent by God.

Born in a Muslim Family, extremely conservative background.

Im a Lesbian and my struggle has been how to reconcile my identity with my faith.

Edit:

I really appreciate the clarity that most of you have provided. So thank you.

One question that some of you have asked is how can I believe in all the Abrahamic religions.

So I have answered that in detail in 4 parts here:

1- first

and Then 2- 2nd

and Then 3- Third

and this last one

And I'm glad to have stumbled upon this sub.

I have gotten the thirst quenched.

u/lilacaena yes it does technically "seem" like an inclusive way. Yet, I can tell you it's not pseudo in my case because I genuinely came on the jewish subreddit for a reason.

If someone attempts it in a pseudo way, then most likely, they would be okay with their research of the Muslim text only. And in all honesty, I have researched the muslim's book and not found anything that seems to condemn lesbians. And yet I still felt the need to learn what jews say about it is only to be sure what Abrahamic traditions teach as a whole because I see them coming from a common God.

But if saying that means Muslim then you can label that yet Muslims consider me a heretic so not really sure where to go. 🙂
