Gay muslim coming out to family and very scared

I was knew I was gay before I ever watched porn...

Billions of people masturbate and not all of them turn gay. You're talking rubbish.

quit porn and masturbation and you will turn straight in a few months

Wow That's genius.If only the tens of thousands of gay people who have existed over the centuries had simply thought to stop looking at porn and masturbating.I'm sure nobody in the last couple of thousand years had that idea.We are truly blessed to have your insights on this matter.Please enlighten us further.

Moron.You can't turn straight.

Hello all!

I'm a gay muslim and very proud, I never want to feel like I have to hide my sexuality but its very difficult because of my family, who are all practising muslims. I know the horrendous cruel treatment Islam prescribes for homosexuals and I think it's disgusting. Allah made me a homosexual and I'm not going to suppress my desire for a sexual relationship with another man for my entire life.

I believe at some point the quran has been changed and the hadiths are often such that "someone said that someone said that Muhammad said" and it sounds a lot like Chinese whispers.

The fact that my religion has these abominations in it makes me sick but I still do believe in God. Anyway I want to come out to my family but I am terrified they will physically harm me at worst and disown me, kick me out and never speak to me again at best. I live in the UK but I don't think that would stop my dad and brothers from probably severely hurting me because most Muslims are very intolerant of homosexuals and my family have always shown pure hatred for homosexuals and even wished death upon them when they see them on the news. Then I have my community to deal with and I fear being bullied / beaten up around my local area.

So what do I do? I'm 16 and it will still be some years yet until I am able to be independent so I feel trapped and it's starting to get me depressed. It would be a miracle if they supported me but I am certain they won't. I wish Muslims were more accepting and moved away from the old teachings that are just out of date now and not relevant to this era.

Any advice?

Looks like the dunya got to you lol.
You can be gay and muslim period, Islam wont change because everyone thinks homosexuality is fine.

You either tell them, and risk being kicked out and disowned (which is very likely) or you just hide it till you leave.

It's a shame islam is so stubborn. The traditional punishments for sins have no place in the 21st century and I believe in the future we will see more acceptance and a more liberal approach to islam.

Thanks for the support I guess I will just keep it to myself until I become independent.

did I say every masturbator turns gay? I'm not talking rubbish at all there's research behind what I'm saying kid.

you seem a bit mad, craving for some dick gayboy?

I hope you are not referring to your own; I suspect I would require the aid of a microscope to find it.
But no, I just have a low tolerance for stupidity.

no thanks I'm straight, you're disgusting.

There is a support organisation/charity for LGBTQ Muslims but I'm not sure how active it is. The website here does have useful material on Islam and sexuality, including something aimed at parents, though.

I am Christian not Muslim but the same rule applies

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone
We are all sinners. None perfect. Leave the judgement to God
You have my support
