Question
Hey, I was just wondering what the limits are for what is halachically permissible for homosexual women. Can they live with each other? Raise children together? Touch without having full intercourse? What are the more lenient and stricter opinions for what women can do with each other physically and in terms of having relationships that can resemble marriage in some ways? Or are female homosexuals actually supposed to stay alone or find a man in a similar situation, and is either choice required? These are the questions that have been on my mind recently, but I’d really appreciate any information I might be missing or guidance for where I can find out more, since I’m uncomfortable asking people in person am having a hard time figuring out what the upshot of the sources on the topic are. Thanks.
