I'm a girl. I like girls. I'm a "Muslim" and Asian. What to do?

I can't really take you seriously if you can't type the word "sex", not going to lie 😂It's not a taboo word. Thanks for the advice though, but I'll pass on researching into Islam. As I've said in my post, I simply do not believe a God exists. That is literally the first pillar of Islam - belief. Again, thank you for your time.

Here you go OP

She can find peace there. I'd say the hardest part is being celibate and controlling desires and temptations..
''Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will substitute him with something better''

I, like you have been brought up in a culture that thinks it is. Fair enough. Good luck to you, I wish you the best. Please whatever you do, don't get forced to marry a man that you don't like.

Less lust. Having S is zina. And unfortunately in your case cannot get married.
Research more into Islam. Although I admit you are in a very sad position.

She's Muslim and Asian. Different cultures buddy, its not as simple as move out..

fair enough, **** what the others think and just live your life how you want and if they wanna judge you let them who cares? enjoy your culture and enjoy your life

good luck

That's interesting. I've never heard that before. Basically, I'll live a lonely life with no man, no woman, but 100 cats.

It's not simple, I'm aware Asian parents do that thing while they raise you that makes you dependent on them so there's that mental block which makes it difficult to move out. I'm sure coming from a Muslim background makes the controlling even worse, even though she's stated numerous times she isn't religious.

Still doesn't make it impossible and if she's going to have to live with that ignorance her whole life, becoming independent is the only way she's gonna be happy.

I don't think you've met many Muslim women, have you?

Did you know when you were and if you were still a Muslim, you are yet commit a sin for being attracted to women?

Do you understand biology or psychology or sociology?

Firstly, being attracted to someone is not a choice it is a biological process in an attempt to find both protection and pass on genetics. But the body cannot distinguish between male and female.

Second, if you tell a child not to eat a certain type of sweet then they will likely lust after it more, but if you give them the sweet they don't want it as much anymore. That is basic human psychology, celibacy would lead to both sexual frustration and potential problems later down the line.

Third, of course she can get married! By law she can marry, maybe not culturally, but OP made it clear she isn't a big believer.

Do you really think that these things are a test? Muhammad lusted after a 9 y/o girl and slept with her, is paedophilia better than homosexuality?

*cue muslims saying "astaghfirullah"*

Yep, you read the title right.

I like girls. I like their hair. I like the way they smell. I like that they're soft. I like that I can connect with a girl far more intensely and quicker than I do with a male.

I've always liked girls. It's always been like that. When I was a child, I'd never see the hype with boys when my female friends would be getting boyfriends. Even through my teenage years, I'd never have crushes on boys - on girls though, YESSSSssSss.

Right, enough about girls. Let's move onto me, as a person.

I am a female adult who was born and raised in an Asian AND Muslim household. Both identities are notorious to shun out anyone part of the LGBT community.
I'm not a practicing Muslim. I don't believe in a God. Yet I don't drink nor eat pork. I even eat Halal food. Maybe there's a part of me that's super scared that there is a God. Anyways that's another forum topic.

I don't believe in a God because why would he/she make me the way I am? Why would he bring me into a world where people will reject me and think I'm disgusting for merely just loving another human being?

And for those who think "you chose to like girls". Um, no. I didn't wake up one day and think "Hmmmmm YESSSS I'm going to go against my religion and my ethnic background and fancy girls. Just for the #baNTZ!!!". Oh no no no. I didn't chose to be like this.

I;ve never been in a relationship with a girl, not been with one sexually. I lust after both these things. But I have a feeling that I'll never be able to do so. Even if an opportunity came, I would feel guilty.

Being from an Asian background and Muslim background, marriage is a big deal. I'm in my 20s. I'm finishing up my studies. This is the prime time for girls and boys of my background(s) to get married. Marriage is such an important thing in Islam and in all South Asian communities.

So marriage is traditionally between a man and woman (god said adam and eve not adam and steve, am i right ?!?!), and guess what, I don't like men in that way. I've tried to invest myself with a man. I can't connect with a man on an emotional level. The though of their genitals does not make me aroused. How on earth can I get married to one? If I don't get married, I'm a failure. If I come out, I will be shunned by my family and the Asian and Islamic community.

Sooooo, I'm pretty much f*cked. Let's be real, I'm not coming out any time soon to my family or friends.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to get married. I don't want to ask "God" for forgiveness. I simply do not believe in him/her.

If you're a Muslim and reading this, do not pray for me. Don't make dua for me. There's nothing wrong with me.

In that day and age it was a common thing. Please research into it further if you want to find the truth.
No.

If you dont believe in god then you are not a muslim so whats the problem ? Do whatever you like, you believe you have no one to answer to .

My culture. Culture and religion are two different things.
