There an interesting academic article that came out in 2010 on gay JWs. It's based on empirical, qualitative research from the perspective of the sociology of religion.
I'm posting the article citation and abstract below. I can't post the article because of copyright restrictions, obviously. For anyone who has access to university library facilities/online database, you can easily pull this and read it if you are interested. Not sure if this article had any discussion on here yet, or if anyone was aware of it.
Lalich, Janja and McLaren, Karla(2010) 'Inside and Outcast: Multifaceted Stigma and Redemption in the Lives of Gay and Lesbian Jehovah's Witnesses', Journal of Homosexuality, 57: 10, 1303 — 1333
Homosexuality has become a divisive issue in many religions
and congregations. Like many other fundamentalist denominations,
Jehovah’s Witnesses condemns homosexual acts, thoughts,
and feelings. Consequently, gay and lesbian Witnesses experience
not just stigmatization and conflict between their sexual
and religious identities in the social world, but also a nearly
impossible task in their inner world. This inner task adds a new
facet to our understanding of stigma (Goffman, 1963). This study
explores the written narratives of a subset of gay and lesbian former
Jehovah’s Witnesses who were able to comprehend, negotiate,
and, in most cases, resolve their multifaceted stigmas and conflicts
through struggle, self-determination, and eventually connecting
with networks of peers who faced or are facing similar stigmas.
This research contributes to other work on the intersection of religion,
family, and homosexuality; in particular, the findings have
implications for the study of other strict fundamentalist religions.
