Sid: Jesus, what are they all doing?

Michelle: They're trying to be happy, Sid. It isn't easy.

Does anyone else on here get extremely depressed in the summer?

i received some hateful words on Instagram from a fellow Muslim. the usual "oh you're not fasting for Ramadan? Don't be Muslim then." and also the usual "queer Muslims don't exist." I try not to let these things bother me. I ended up blocking this person because I really don't need that energy in my life. It just got me thinking.

I'll never be the "ideal" Muslim. Never. I'll never be able to pray 5 times a day. I'll never be able to fast for Ramadan (not because I don't want to. I do want to. I have health issues that prevent me from doing so.) I'll never be seen as valid because I'm queer. I'll never be able to give up certain spiritual practices i had in the past. I'll never be accepted by the general Muslim community.

And as much as I want to ignore all the people saying I can't be Muslim because of so and so, it makes me wonder if they're right. I'm trying my best.

LGBTQ+ Muslims are queer and Muslim.

Many Muslims will tell them that who they are is wrong.

Many LGBTQ+ people will tell them that their faith is wrong.

But they do not have to choose between who they are and their faith.

I'm sending love to all my fellow queer Muslims because I'm feeling lost today. Please know that you are not alone and that you are free to embrace every part of yourself.

Non-cis hijabi muslim culture is others expecting you to stop wearing hijab because you're Genderqueer

queer revert muslim culture is never being taken seriously when you defend yourself because you’re a revert and you’re “invading Islam and changing it on purpose”
