Would a gay man keepg the fast be shunned by fellow Mlims who fd abomatn of their relign to dream that a 'viant’ or non-abidg ( the Orthodox sense) Mlim's fast would be accepted by Allah?

AFFIRMG MOSQU HELP GAY MLIMS RENCILE FAH, SEXUALY

The official fictn, Brian Whaker explas, is that gay people don’t exist the Middle East. They do – and for many of them, attus of fay and society are a bigger problem than fear of beg persecuted * gay muslim fasting *

The relatnship between viance and relign has almost always been troublome, and unr that headg, there are spl views on the relatnship between homosexualy and relign; most classilly, that members of the LGBTIQ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Intersex and Queer) tomatilly go to hell, or they don’t and are like the rt of the people, and not to be judged ath based on their sexual orientatns.

However when to fastg, their reasons for fastg or not fastg, are often tied up wh their Lennox nclus a rrelative pattern for the general muny between votn and fastg that the gay muny to not tend to stray om.

It ually follows that therefore that a gay practicg Mlim (regardls of what that stat self impli for some Mlim believers) will chose to fast Ramadan, while a gay non-believer who still class as a Mlim might forego the duti of the holy month.
