I am Religious, but I am Bisexual

Regggaaaa November 17, 2016 5:47 pm

I am 15 years old boy, bisexual, muslim and confused. I am certainly bisexual, but I am very religious and sometime when my parents explained why homosexual or LGBT is taboo in religious, sometime I convinced and I am in such dilemma. I know I am bisexual bc I am attracted to boy and girls, but my parents told me that homos existed just bc lust and it's a sickness that can be cured. PS they don't know I am bi. So, do you think being bisexual or LGBT is wrong? I meant I have crush on a guy not bc of how hot they are (In other words, it wasn't because of lust, correct?) It was because I felt something beyond friend, I think people that are straight won't understand this feeling, It's very tingly feeling towards the same sex, It's love. It's not just because I want a dick stick in my ass. I am so scared tho, I am very religious so I believe god exist and Heaven and Hell. It's very complicated when you believe your religion with all of your heart, but you also become something that your religions strongly won't accept!! So tragic

    I think all of people are Bi. Love and love with interest are different. I agree that love isn't wrong.
    But believe it your religion has tell you the right thing. There must be a reason why God said "you shouldn't". Trust what your God said. If you're think & learn it properly you'll understand.
    I think your parents is not enough. in your school you'll find moslem community or something, if they are good, hang out with them you'll understand how moslem's perspective, what their orientation of life, but DON'T be a moslem fanatic. Become wise and know the limit.

    hey.. don't be affraid. you still 15, you can change. If you think properly why your religion said Lgbt is lust, i think you'll understand. if what you said it's true that you're religious, i think you should t... Maakim

    I completely disagree. I know many Muslims who are okay with homosexuality. It all depends on what you are taught. My parents have different religious beliefs. I have different religious beliefs. I was raised her religion, but found my own beliefs in time.

    Don't take your parents' words as gospel (ironic use of the term, but the only one I can think of atm). Do you think Allah hates homosexuals? I know many Muslims who believe that love is love, and that Allah would never punish you for loving. You have to think for yourself. What kind of god do you believe in? None of us can tell you. Only you can find the answer. What I CAN tell you, however, is that surpressing your feelings can really hurt you emotionally in the long run.

    Honestly, as an atheist, if I believed in a god and that god told me that homosexuality is wrong, I probably wouldn't have been worshiping them in the first place. I wouldn't want to revere something so hateful, even if it gave me life.

    Remember that there is an entire community who is there for you and loves you unconditionally. You'll never be alone.

    There are so many muslim who has high tolerance. But tolerance is different from support. A true muslim won't support it. As a believer I'm sure Lgbt and Islam won't work in the same way, but I'm not against lgbt. It's up to yourself.
    I know It's not the love that Allah forbid. But a believer will try to learn what Allah's intention. It's not people who make rules that convinient for them, people should learn the rules itself. I believe God is very tolerant too but it doesn't mean we should hang all inconvinient thing in God's tolerance.
    Since this guy is still believe in god, he has religion, i think it's better to learn his religion more. If he doesn't belief his parents, he can learn from his muslim friend and especially his Quran and thinking about it properly.
    It's not about you'll be discriminated or not, but what are you in God's eye since you're believer. He can choose to be obdient or not but every choice come with consequency.

    I'm a muslim too, and your words are making it worse. The kid should learn to accept himself and to love Allah. What you're doing is saying that being a bi is a no no in Islam. Well guess what, I've asked scholars as long as you don't have sex in public it's your problem doing whatever. Islam encourages marriage and having a family. You should learn more about Islam and the 4 major scholars instead of Saudi/ISIS islam where they hate on everything.
    For the original poster, Be yourself don't immerse yourself in lust and whoever you fall in love with you should dedicate your life for, just like any hetero couple. And if y

    And if you're living in a homophobic country, there are platforms that support homosexuals/Bisexuals and advice them.

    I can assure you that I'm a jerk and many people on this site would disagree. I only say this because if I don't, someone will probably point it out lol. I need to think before I speak/type most of the time. I've made soooo many regrettable posts on this website..

    But when you can relate to a situation or are passionate about it then you can talk about it better, I guess.
