Regarding the advice above for GLBT individuals, we at Jewish Mosaic know of an Orthodox rabbi trying to create an Orthodox path for conversion for GLBT people. Please contact us at info@jewishmosaic.org for information.

Re: Reform movement not requiring immersion, this is not so. Reform Congregrations require immersion in a kosher mikvah in the conversion process.

Actually, the Reform movement does not require immersion in the mikvah for conversion. It is up to the individual rabbi. And yes, there are more and more who encourage mikveh. Going to the mikveh will also make your conversion more acceptable to the Conservative movement if you care about that.
