Help, I am Denominationally Homeless

To stay on track for my degree, I need to start my 2-year, part-time internship this fall or next. I'm all set to start one at a UCC congregation this fall. Now I'm thinking I should wait til next, perhaps I'll have more clarity on UCC vs UU?

Maybe I abandoned UUism too quickly?

Maybe I have more conviction in my ability to be a lesbian, somewhat Christian UU minister than in my conviction to be a lesbian, low Christology UCC minister? What are some theological questions I can ask myself to shed some light?

I've been praying for clarity....

This is the lightbulb moment that got me here:

Self: I don't want to have to constantly defend my Christianity in a UU setting.

Self: DUH! What kind of Christian are you then? You're an out lesbian and a closeted Christian? If you believe, you believe, and you need not DEFEND it to anyone!

Of course, it doesn't help that the place where I really feel God called me to intern is NOT an option for a myriad of reasons....
