Can you be gay if you are Muslim?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Being a Muslim does not disqualify or even prevent someone from having homosexual tendencies, as some may prefer to put it. Homosexuality is found in pretty much all walks of life regardless of race, religion, culture. Even cultures and religions that are repressive towards homosexuality are known to have homosexuals or at least the practice of homosexuality. The difference is that such things go on underground in those societies. Some countries (such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) have communes of female impersonators who make a living from dancing at weddings. There is relative tolerance for such groups in these places and people seldom probe too deeply into the activities of such people.

Answer 2

To be gay is strictly sinful. Not allowed in all God religions; Islam, Christianity, and Judaism; for one to be gay. Homosexuality is forbidden and sinful in all God religions.

Answer 2

No. In every Muslim-majority country, being gay is a crime that can be punished by jail sentences and in many cases executions. Islam as a religion condemns homosexuality quite explicitly and most Muslims in Western countries vote against gay rights as well.

Answer 3

First of all, a gay person is gay whether their religion allows it or not. It's not a choice.

Second, Progressive Islam is the only branch of Islam that accepts gay people. (They are also called Muslims for Progressive Values).

All other branches of Islam reject gay people, and many support prison or the death penalty for offenders.

Answer 4

Anyone can be gay, it's not a choice it's just a characteristic.

Answer 5

Gay Muslims generally must be closeted, and therefore they are sometimes forced into sham marriages with women.

Answer 6

Homosexuality is strictly forbidden in Islam. A person indulged in this wicked act must be put to death according to Islam. It is unnatural and sinful activity. It is a kind of perversion.

Answer 7

Muslims are no different than any other human beings on the planet. There are no more homosexuals among their religion than there are among your religion.
