I can't say whether Quakerism would be right for you, but my experience in Britain is that it is more accepting of gay, bi and poly people than nearly any other religious group. Quakers do vary round the world, though, and some groups might be less accepting. In the US in particular there are liberal Quaker groups and more evangelical ones. Good luck!

Thanks for this article... I've often thought about investigating whether being a Friend would be right for me... growing up I was told that they were heretics (I'm from a strong pentecostal background), however as an adult I actually met a wonderful woman named Betty through my job as a caregiver, and she was hands-down one of the the most peaceful, gentle, welcoming and considerate people I've ever met. Being gay, I kind of lost my faith when religious folk told me I could only have one or the other, but Betty helped me see that it ain't necessarily so. I'm beginning to re-examine my options, having a far better sense of myself as bisexual and polyamorous, and it's nice to see people talking through how these things might all fit together. Keep it up... your site rocks!! DR Hi!! Thanks for this article…
