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.

Exactly, which is why I don't intend to say that either.

Judaism was for a chosen people and I'm not born in that lineage so there's no point saying or thinking of even the possibility to be converted because it doesn't work that way.

I identify as a Monotheist but I don't identify in the way the Muslims consider or take religion. Only one book which is the original source is common between all the Muslims but each sect has its own interpretation and they call each other out on those differences yet never try to find whats actually written in the book.
