I'm a 23 year old female, living in a very patriarchal, homophobic country. I'm a lesbian for the most part, with 'masculine' preferences, so you can imagine how suffocating it is trying to just 'fit in' with everyone.

I want to find a partner, a kindred spirit, someone I'd confide in and eventually get married to in the future. Someone who'd understand me completely and wholly. Someone who has been through the same experiences as mine. I really don't know how to meet fellow Muslim lesbians who are not Islam-haters. My sexuality and faith are both in complete harmony with each other.

I'm hoping to move to a slightly more liberal country for my master's, but I don't think I'll be able to find any Muslim lesbians at all.

Can someone please help me? How can I meet fellow Muslims lesbians? The loneliness is truly eating me from the inside out and I don't even know what to do.
