Parents have been prottg over relatnship tn, sayg is patible wh their relig valu. Where do the row leave gay Mlims? * gay muslim birmingham *

But when qutned by stunts about how he uld be Mlim and gay given Islam’s strict prohibn on same-sex sexual relatns, Ash replied that he lost his fah years ago but still knows lots of “gay Mlims.

Protts by Mlims agast teachg about gay relatnships at their children’s primary me to a head last week. We meet the people ught between activists and the law * gay muslim birmingham *

“Basilly, a guy was ved knowg full well that he was gay and Mlim and that he was gog to make a speech to majory Mlim kids and Mlim staff, and he has misquoted the Quran to say that ’s allowed to be gay and that the Quran says ’s ok. There is a profound difference between someone g and sayg ‘the are my experienc, ’ and someone g who has no expertise on Islamic theology and sayg ‘there is nothg wrong wh beg gay and Mlim or that there is nothg the Quran which preclus the typ of relatnships.

I’ve tried to engage dialogue wh them and even though they claim not to be homophobic, the narrativ they provi are clearly homophobic nature. “It’s not okay beg a Mlim and beg homosexual. We don’t believe homosexualy.

And fally: “We’ve got no issue agast homosexual people, but don’t tell our children somethg that ntradicts their relig beliefs. As a gay Mlim, I’m tryg to see om both sis. As a Mlim, we are brought up beg told “homosexualy is haram” (forbidn).

This level of mass hysteria, toxic shamg of teachers, LGBTQ activists and mpaigners remds me of Sectn 28 – a clse brought at the time by a Conservative ernment which “banned the promotn of homosexualy schools as went agast the tradnal moral valu of a Christian fay and state”. The other part to this is my inty as a gay man. The homophobia is apparent, wh some of even receivg ath threats onle, which have been reported to the var agenci.
