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.

Unrstand that the Quran do not necsarily nmn homosexualy.

I'M GAY AND MLIM. I SAW MYSELF THE QURAN

Homophobia exists any relign, and sometim, people will grasp at straws jt to prove that they are "right". However, beg gay or bisexual is actually not explicly nmned the Quran, ntrary to what many Islamic schools of thought believe.

There are many terpretatns of the Quran, but there's no chapter or verse that directly says homosexualy is an offense. The verse often quoted to nmn beg gay Islam, the story of the Prophet Lut, is equently misterpreted.

The words "homosexual" and "homosexualy" are never explicly ed the Quran, and lbian or bisexual women are not mentned.

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. No thentic hadh will claim that LGBT+ people (or people who engage gay sexual relatns) should be put to ath.

Some imams have publicly e out as gay, such as Imam Muhs Hendricks, Imam Daayiee Abdullah, [9].

and Imam Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed (who opened Paris's first gay-iendly mosque).
