2 questions as a person who is not LGBT

Salam,

I'm always down to understanding new ideas and I firmly believe in the freedom of thought within our muslim community, even if we disagree.

I've engaged with the LGBT-positive Islamic sources here and I'm familiar with the arguments used and I found myself finding some aspects quite sound and I'm glad these resources exist.

My 2 questions assume the following:

Pro-SS Marriage/Union

Do not believe " acting on it " is a sin

Grounding/familiarity with Islamic fiqh

A muslim, obviously.

  1. Do you think as an LGBT Muslim you could have right-wing leanings? Or is the general right-wing hostility of Islam the deal breaker? Or there are other reasons you're not right-wing leaning?

  2. What are your thoughts about surrogacy?

After all, Lineage is very important in Islam hence why adoption is restricted. Surrogacy amongst gay couples involve a third-party donor AND a surrogate mother. So essentially the lineage is muddled and a child with an unknown lineage cannot inherit without a wasiya (will).

Do you avoid surrogacy and want a child via other means (Adoption etc...) or do you think the process can be halal-ified somehow?

Much love!
