Message:   Hi and shalom Curious,
As a former member of Congregation beth Simchat Torah
and a Triad native, yes you can be gay and Jewish!
I went to hebrew classes for two years at Temple Emanuel in Winston-Salem, when the Rabbi there was a feminist. This is a long process to be Jewish by choice, and the Reform Jewish federation does accept gay and bisexual Jewish human beings as members and as guests. I've been called to the bima to complete the baruchim and sung in the Gay Jewish community chorus on Shabbat Shira in Manhattan with Carnegie hall sound engineers and a conductor from Hebrew Union College.
Since then I've also embraced Mahayana buddhism and am enjoying regular mornings meditation that enhance
my life as a complete human being in a balanced life.
Now if I just could have a gay lady to share all this with...

Best of fortune to you.
