I am a non-Witness lesbian who's just learning about the JW community as a result of my now former love-relationship with an active JW lesbian. I originally wrote to this forum seeking advice on how my relationship with her could survive despite her intense guilt about being gay. It did not survive. Her love for me was true but she found she couldn't have both her religion and me without losing everyone around her. This is all new territory for me and I know I must accept what has happened. Thanks to the many wonderful words of support from people on this forum, that acceptance may become easier.
