Question for LGBT Members of Orthodoxy

Hi all, I’m Jewish though non-practicing (classic city person who lights menorah, goes to a few of the holiday dinners, but basically an agnostic).

I’ve had many gay Jewish friends and I’ve had orthodox friends, but I’ve never seen an open crossover between the two. I know that the orthodox can be very harsh on LGBT people, but I also recognize that there are a lot of sub-sects and unique communities that have their own rules (the first thought that comes to mind is this story I read a while back about an openly lesbian Conservative rabbi).

I was curious what the experience is like for orthodox gay people who actively choose to be out of the closet, but still be a part of the orthodox community? Are any of you here in the sub and willing to share a bit about your experience?
