For those of you who grew up religious, do you still struggle with reconciling your sexuality with your religion?
Post Body

I still struggle to reconcile at times and I have known I am bi for close to 20 years. I find it hard to believe that our Creator wants LGBT to burn in hell. Also, I am black and religion is so big in the black community and many black people believe that you can't be lgbt and be a Christian.

I don't really like attending church and consider myself to be more spiritual than religious. I still worry that I will go to hell for my sexuality. I am gay-leaning so I don't feel I can just repress that side of me and just pretend to be straight.

Also, I just constantly struggle with whether or not I truly believe in God for several reasons. One of which, I just don't get how one God can watch over 8 billion people. But more importantly, I just don't understand how we are all supposed to be God's children but there are so many hate crimes against LGBT.

I don't like having to choose between my sexuality and religion. Sorry if it seems like I am rambling.
