What you have done here is not just for gay muslims – but for every single person on this earth who is victimised through intolerance. Muslims are not the only people who propagate the idea that homosexuality is a sin. Most religions do this in one way or another. This statement is to all religions.

The movie A Jihad for love is a true inspiration, following this brave confrontation between Suhail and the Islamic scholars is a stepping stone towards the path of liberation and freedom all Muslims endeavour to feel and experince, the need to belong in a community, believe in Allah, and live a gay lifestyle, without any prejudice or discrimination.

May Allah give us, men and woman, strength and patience to face our challenges.

Let GOD be the judge.

Hajira

Gay Muslim. May Allah bestow his Mercy on you for your honesty and give you courage to continue to speak openly concerning being gay. No one chooses to be gay, as so many bigoted idiots believe, we are born that way.
If only more gay muslims have the courage to come out and challange the mullas and society.

Gay Muslims. Only idiots can believe that being Muslim is a sure safeguard that one can not be gay (Homosexual)
How often have I heard that there are no GAY MOSLEMS!
If only these advocating this would visit Moslem countries as I have they will maybe discover that almost every male is to be had from the hotel porter, the taxi driver, the policeman, etc. etc. etc
Glad some persond have the courage to speak up may Allah be with them and bless them for their honesty.

Gay Moslems. Good to hear that there are gay moslems
The denialists have always propagated the idea that there are no gay persons who are moslem. Even certain Presidents have stated that there are no homosexuals in Iran – what trash!. I have travelled the world extensively and was surprised how many men in moslem countries were to “be had”. They are NOT homosexual BUT practice HOMOSEXUALITY from the hotel porter/receptionst to the doctor/professor. When will tey stop this hypocracity? There are HOMOSEXUALS in ALL societies, this is a natural occurance. We are not sick perverts. To quote Rosa v Praunheim: “It is not the homosexual who is pervert But the society he lives in that is”
