A GAY IMAM'S STORY: 'THE DIALOGUE IS OPEN ISLAM – 10 YEARS AGO WASN'T'

Onle imam je rekao Abdullahu da postoji ijma (konsenz) u panju homoseksualnosti – koja se fira kao analni seks među muškarcima – da je to jedan od glavnih grijeha i da opravdavanje toga vodi do kua (nevjerstva).

COMG OUT: GROWG UP GAY AND MLIM AMERI

(Mlim Matters, From a same-sex attracted Mlim: Between nial of realy and distortn of relign) Problem je što se argument kušnje koristi za lju s posebnim potrebama, a gayevi nisu takva kategorija ljudi. U slučaju homoseksualnosti, jači dokaz se javlja iz konsenza profnalnih stucija ljučujući Američku asocijaciju psihologa, Američku akamiju pedijatara, Američku medicsku asocijaciju i Libansku medicsku asocijaciju za seksualno zdravlje. Štaviše, opsjednutost gay genom nije prodtivna u razmatranju homoseksualnosti, posebno zato što u islamu riječ seksualnih manja može bi prihvaćena, na temelju prisege.

IN A SURVEY OF AMERIN MLIMS, 0% INTIFIED AS LBIAN OR GAY. HERE’S THE STORY BEHD THAT STATISTIC

Čak i ako se ispravi kriva kulturna rmiranost, razdvajanjem problema mlimanske LGBT omlade od eksploatacijske perastije, zabrjavajuće je to što religijske terpretacije strogo zabranjuju homoseksualne eksprije. (Brown, The Shariah, Homosexualy & Safeguardg Each Other’s Rights a Pluralist Society) Na sreću za Abdullaha, hanefijska pravna škola odbacuje smrtnu kaznu za homoseksualizam zasnovano na tome da logika qiyasa (analogije) ne može bi primijenjena na Had kazne.

(The Tim of India, Homosexualy immoral, but not crimal: Relig lears) Ipak ovo nije od pomoći Adbullahu jer on ne živi na Zapadu gdje je panje kazni sporno.

CAN ONE BE MLIM AND GAY?

(Jahangir and Abdullatif, 2016) Uprkos svom učenju, Abdullah zna da oni koji se vo prostim py-paste tekstom, najčešće ignoriraju pažljive refleksije, humaniziraju homoseksualne muškarce, svo ih na pi seksualni č i tvrdoglavo trajavaju na vlastom kapricu i nastojanjima da zaniječu timnost, privlačnost i partnerstvo gay muškarcima. It is this view and mixed msag that often leave young gay Mlims feelg nfed and alone, torn between the fear of beg disowned by fay and fah and nyg their sexual inti.

HOW DO YOU SAY GAY ARABIC?

And given the myriad social challeng facg Amerin Mlims general, om ernment monorg to discrimatn, the prsur n leave some gay Mlims feelg like a dual mory, isolated wh and outsi their muni. But some young gay Mlims are challengg this arrangement, risg the fields of polics, media, art and activism and workg to create a more clive Amerin Islam. And while the tradn remas that homosexualy is a s Islam, there is a growg movement of scholars, activists and relig lears rereadg sourc and pullg om them ias of tolerance and social change.

CAN A MLIM BE GAY?

“The tth is that durg Prophet Muhammad’s days, he appoted the first female imam, and gay people were not persecuted for beg gay, ” said Ani Zonneveld, founr of Mlims for Progrsive Valu, a Los Angel–based anizatn that advot for women’s rights and lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr equaly. She is a trailblazer, helpg create the kd of safe spac Islam that young gay Mlims like Omar and Sara seek, has officiated at the Islamic weddg of a lbian uple and challeng the tablishment by leadg prayers — a task women are tradnally not allowed to do.

WHAT ’S LIKE TO BE GAY AND MLIM

“And this sounds silly, but even on social media, on Facebook, I’ll let some pictur go on there that uld really be perceived as gay, and my fay n see that. Ani Zonneveld says she receiv lls regularly om young gay and lbian Mlims who have been threatened by their fay or are aaid to reveal their sexual inty.

Now, Qadhi often prefac his remarks about homosexualy by notg that “feelgs and clatns” are not themselv sful, and that homosexual acts should not be sgled out for special nmnatn.

Beg lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, or any other sexual orientatn or genr inty is difficult enough on s own, but beg Mlim as well n e one to stggle wh rencilg their inty wh Islam and Allah. If you're stgglg to rencile your LGBT+ inty wh your Islamic fah, n help to unrstand that Islam do not explicly forbid beg homosexual or havg a diverse genr inty. Furthermore, the Quran even mentns "men who are not need of women" (which n be terpreted as men who are gay or asexual) Verse 24:31-24:33, and the men are not nmned anywhere.
