I feel like islamophobia in the lgbt+ community, especially from white people, is something that is often overlooked
but as a muslim lesbian...it hurts. it's alienating. you're harming us when you say religion can't coexist with our identities because islam is as much a part of my identity as being a non-binary lesbian is!
there are plenty of legitimate criticisms to be made about white christianity and it's weaponization against the lgbtq+ community, but lumping muslims in with that is so harmful
the same people who persecute lgbt+ people also persecute muslim people, and if you can't see us as your allies or fellow community members, then you have some islamophobic views to work out
and before you tell me that muslims don't accept lgbt+ people, I'd like to mention that I have come out to multiple mujtahids (religious leaders at ismaili mosques) in my lifetime and they have all welcomed me
for every white lgbt+ person who doesn't accept my faith, there is a muslim who accepts my sexuality and gender identity
do better. because this is our community too.
Completely agree, I don't like celebrating the 4th and Thanksgiving personally either because of it's history. I just found it quite strange that all of the sudden people started protesting the 4th when their rights were being taking away, and not because they don't make sense as holidays to celebrate.
Boycott the 4th of July and turn it into a day of action for reproductive rights. We WILL take back our rights.
Our lives and liberty depend on it.
