Haram Family & relations
Islam forbids same-sex acts, as the Quran recounts in the story of the people of Lut (7:80-81, 26:165-166). The ruling concerns the act. A person who struggles with their feelings should be treated with respect and mercy, repentance is open to everyone, and Muslims are not allowed to harm or insult anyone.
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةًۭ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّسْرِفُونَ ﴿٨١﴾
Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."
أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٦٥﴾
Do you approach males among the worlds
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
