I am christian and have just started going to church and getting back in touch with my religion again, as last time was only when i was young. i want a relationship woth god and have found the people there to be so wonderful and kind. however, i believe i am a good moral person who cares and has the right to be there and pray, but there is this niggle in my heart. i am a lesbian. my friends and parents know and i sit there feeling like if anyone here knew would i be an outcast, would they be so accecpting and can i pray to god and connect with him when i feel i can't change this part of me. i would if i felt it was a sin becuase it is harmful, but its not. part of me feels guilty and i should speak up else leave , but also that i am kind and caring and just happen to be gay and nothing to feel ashamed about. i want a life with god and the church, but this is preying on my mind and God knows full well i am lesbian.

the adam and eve story does conflict with your love life.
you are the only one other than christ who has the right to judge your methods so why not leave the crowd out of it and let christ lead you when he is with you there will be no doubt at all in your mind.
you wont need to ask the opinion of others.

Everyone has a thorn in their side, about sin that troubles them, or they can not accept as a sin. Do not break with your Christian community. Pray to God and ask Him to show the way. Actually there may any other sins in your life which you do not recognize at this time. Concentrate on what He shows you through thinking about the scriptures. Also, focus on helping others, the sick, strangers, the offensive, the ugly, and all manner of sinners.

If there is a God then God made you the way that you are. You should not be ashamed of this.

Try a Unitarian Universalist church, or check on-line for support for gays and lesbians in your denomination.

If god didn't want Lesbians, he wouldn't biologically allow women to pleasure each other. But they do, so he does.
