I have two questions in mind or maybe more that i would like to hear open views to without trying to be purposely awkward, ignorant or to cause any offence... Here goes:

I have grown up my whole life 21 years of living as a Muslim. However in only the past two years have I come to accept what I am, which for the topic matter is gay and a "Muslim" ( reason for inverted comas will follow as you read ).

I feel like that i am betraying Allah, by mentioning me being gay, and i don't like it. Ill be honest Islam is a lovely religion, however how can someone follow the religion if what they are cant be helped?

[food for thought] - Why do i feel constantly Repressed by the thought of going against islam?

i mean i have a little fear, that if i turn against Allah, or Islam that things just wont be good in life... i know that this is not the case in reality but thats the mentality vie some how adopted and would like to perish.

[food for thought] - Why do i or maybe others in a similar situation feel uneasy to want to be "atheist"? or "agnostic"?

How would i come out to my parents? whom are mulsim and not so strict. however i know them they would be so hurt for knowing that i am men inclined? i mean i feel like being cooped up in a mulsim culture and family and being gay has caused me so many stressful times. why do i feel like its socially restricted me? silly i know. one of my sisters know, and im sure my other two sisters do also.. but my older brothers would hate me for being gay this much i know because it will ruin their "reputation" my younger brother which is like my best friend i think will be accepting but.. will find it difficult. i don't know weird shit like.
 
dude, pretend be a stright man. be manly. that's saved.
you dont need to announce your homosexuality. keep silent.
 
if your religion and who you are are incompatible then you have to choose which is most important to you. unfortunately you can't just bend your religion to fit who you are.

I suppose maybe you should ask yourself if you really want to be a part of a religion that won't accept you for what you are or where you feel like you have to pretend to be something you're not.
