I do not wish to judge anyone, just as I would not like anyone to judge me. However, my question is direct: is it possible to be both?
If the answer is yes, what religious sources support this view? And if the answer is no, what are the sources that oppose it?
I have that feeling that I’m gay but the problem is… that I’m a Muslim and I live with arab people who also muslims … and that it Islam is against gay so what do I do? How can I become straight?

Salam ans honestly this is such a intimate question I almost feel shy to ask this. But I feel like it's important we talk about this. Okay so I hope most believe it's okay to have sexual inter course between married queer couples. But are there any particular sexual positions to avoid? And I don't see people talking about this at all but what about sexual kinks? Shall I avoid it? What should I avoid? 😭 yes this is serious question. No joking 😭.

Hi, my teenage sister (like.. middle school) has been quietly very into the idea of being Muslim. For context, we used to be Mormon until she was like eight or nine. We are white and American. If I say anything in the post that is not respectful, please let me know, and my intention is to be open minded.
She has friends from school who practice Islam, and she has read some fictional books where the main characters are teenaged Muslim girls. I also believe she has been reading the Quran. She watches some YouTube videos about the religion as well.
A year ago she started dressing very modestly and attempting to wear a hijab. Of course, modest dressing is no problem, and her fashion is very fun. One of our other sisters gave her a hard time for wearing the headscarf… and so we wore it in secret at school for a little. She doesn’t wear it anymore.
I know that she likes girls. I am also pretty sure you cannot really act on queerness and be Muslim? I had a friend get totally kicked out of her family for being a lesbian, and I worry that my sister is getting involved with a community that may not accept her for her whole self. Is this accurate? I worry that I am being led by my biases.
My dad went to our local mosque to ask about this situation… the men there thought it was strange and said that if he wanted to come with her, maybe he could, but they didn’t love the idea of her just coming to things on her own. Which yeah. Fair.
I never imagined I would be living a life like this.
My name is Nada. I’m 18 years old from Gaza. This should have been my first year at university, focusing on my education and building my future. Instead, I have watched my home, my city, and the life we loved disappear before my eyes.
My family and I lost our home and were forced to flee. Since then, we’ve been living through displacement, fear, and uncertainty every single day.
I try to live a normal life, but the harsh conditions and the immense destruction around me overwhelm me, and I often find myself breaking down and crying.
Many people believe the war and the suffering are over. Unfortunately, they are not. We still live in fear every day, surrounded by destruction and the constant threat of bombardment.
Life has become a daily struggle just to survive. My siblings and I collect firewood so we can cook, wait in long lines for water, and go to community kitchens hoping to receive a small meal.
The hunger has taken a serious toll on us. My mother and I have lost a lot of weight because there simply isn’t enough food. We have become weak, and every day is a battle to find something to eat or drink. Even something as simple as a glass of cold water feels like a luxury.
While many people my age are enjoying life and building their futures, my days are spent searching for food and trying to help my family survive. This is not the life I ever imagined.
I’m sharing only a small part of what we are going through in Gaza.
I am not asking for luxury or comfort. I am simply asking for help to afford basic necessities like food, clean water, and other essential needs during these incredibly difficult times.
If you’re able to support me, I would be deeply grateful. If you can’t donate, sharing my story would mean a lot.
I’ve included my family’s donation link in the comments.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
I'm dating a trans person, and I'm genuinely scared now because my cousin told me about how I'm a Muslim and it isn't right to date trans people or people of the same gender as me, but he also told me how much he loved me and everything. Then, when I asked him if I needed to break up with my partner. He said I didn't have to and that I could do whatever makes me happy...
I'm scared of going to Jahannam all for this relationship I'm in, I'm scared of everything, and I'm genuinely losing hope of myself ever finding peace in my life
I'm sorry for the vent.
Idk why am asking that but I had this thought and turns into overthinking
Pls answer gentely
Hi, I’m looking for LGBTQ+ young people who attended faith-based secondary schools in England.
I’m a masters student conducting research for my dissertation about LGBTQ+ young people’s experiences of the relationship and sex education curriculum (RSE) in English faith-based secondary schools and the impact they feel this has had on their wellbeing.
I’m recruiting participants to take part in an anonymous survey. Participation is completely voluntary, if you would like to complete the survey it will take around 20-30 minutes to complete.
Please see the poster for more information about the survey
Here is the link to access the survey: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/edgehill/rse-lgbtq-survey
Thank you for your time.
so i’m a hijabi. and a i’m a lesbian. the hard situation is finding a way to find signs that another hijabi for example is a lesbian too. i don’t want to out right say it because what if that exposes me and it turns out they’re not queer. i’m just really stuck because i really wanna find someone who’s muslim and lesbian too, i don’t really wanna go outside those conditions. maybe i’m being too picky but it is SO hard. i guess it would be worse if i was from a conservative country, im from the UK for anyone still reading this yap.
I'm a 27 year old, queer neurodivergent and mixed Algerian-Irish artist native to Ireland, and I'd just like to build more of a community of like minded people around me.
If you know of any groups or groupchats I could join please let me know or pass my message onto someone that may know. I'm looking to join or make a queer arab/swana groupchat or group, or maybe a diversity-inclusive neurodivergent group/gc.
Please share on or DM if interested: I'll let you know what I find or if I make a group myself.
Late blooming Bi male looking for a Muslim therapist who is familiar with mixed orientation marriage.
Anyone have experience with one?
As-salamu alaykum
I’m looking for halal friends. Online or in person.
I am a newly reverted Muslim. 30 yr old male living in the greater Seattle area.
I would love to connect with other Muslims. It feels lonely to not come out to my Masjid and other Muslims I meet in person. But I’m out of the closet with everyone else.
Anyone else felt the same?
Hopefully I can connect with someone. Inshallah! 🙌🏼
Salaam everyone. Im new to this group, I've only been here a week or so now and there is something I've seen more than a few times now in comment sections that is a little upsetting to me.
I live my life as a gay man. I have a fiance that I plan to marry soon. But I also follow Islam. In my heart, I love Allah. I also know that acting on same sex desires is considered haram and this brings me to what has been upsetting me.
I have seen quite a few comments from people stating that while same sex attraction itself is not haram, acting on same sex desire i.e. sex etc. is. The recommendation is usually to not act on those desires, to repress them and to seek therapy to help control yourself. In other words, repress yourself, don't allow yourself to experience what your body wants which is basically watered down conversion therapy.
Telling people to repress their desires in order to stay true to their faith is not the correct way to go. It makes it sound like if you do act on those desires, you are not a true Muslim. Telling people these sorts of things can go two ways. They accept the advice, try to live their life while repressing their true feelings. Or the other way is that they do this, become depressed that they cannot be themselves and they commit suicide.
This is supposed to be a support group for people struggling with their sexuality while wanting to continue their lives as Muslims. Comments like the ones I've described are not helpful or supportive.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Assalamu Alaikum.
I'm a 30-year-old practicing Muslim currently living in the UAE and looking for a sincere, halal marriage.
To be transparent from the beginning, I was born intersex. I live as a man and have always identified and been recognized as one. Due to my condition, I cannot have biological children.
I'm looking for someone who is kind, emotionally mature, and values honesty, faith, and mutual respect. If you're open to getting to know someone with a non-traditional journey and are seeking a genuine life partner, I'd be happy to connect.
I'm comfortable discussing my medical history and answering any questions privately once we've started talking.
May Allah grant us all what is best. Ameen.
