Honestly, the replies were just dismissive as **** and just shows how ****ed up this religion is. I didn't choose to be this way and im not harming anyone but these narrow minded people will never listen. that's okay, there's no point letting their words effect me. tbh, i was hoping someone who was gay and muslim could reply but so far none have. he first few replies were just making fun of me which made me anxious so i just stopped looking


My honest advice to you is to leave Islam and be your true self as a homosexual male with the world ahead of him.

It is pointless to seek to remain in a religion that has strong views against homosexuality.

Good luck and stay safe

I am not an expert but i don't think you can be a homosexual and muslim.

Allah loves you regardless of your sexuality, it doesn't matter if you're homosexual or not, He still feels the same way for you. It's only haram, when you commit the act of being in a gay relationship and having sex with the same gender. However, transgender and a few other LGBTQ+ sub-communities are considered haram because you're changing what Allah intended for you. That is haram but sexual desires and what you're attracted to is what Allah decides, so He knows whether He's testing you or not.

I know some gay Muslims myself but it's okay to be one! Allah decided the path for you and He's testing you. You must stay strong and devoted to your faith if you truly believe in it but at the end of the day, it is your choice. I personally, would hate for the world to lose another Muslim. I don't really recommend leaving your religion to be free as yourself. You can still be embraced with your sexuality and love who you are, but it is a strong test. Allah must have made you really strong-minded and strong-willed to be able to come out and be yourself online to try to find others like you. I can help if you want because I know a few gay Muslims myself and they'd love to talk to you! I suppose they should be able to understand you better than I would (I'm straight LMFAO).

any gay/bi muslims here ? it would be nice to speak to some people going through the same situation as me and know how they've been dealing with it. im a gay man so it would be nice to speak to other gay/ bi muslim guys but hearing from girls would be comforting as well

don’t know how this turned into a debate/giving advice in the replies.. completely unwarranted.. anyway heyy im a queer muslim girl! its so hard to find ppl like us
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
Can you be gay and Muslim? The simple answer is yes but this needs explanation.
In Islam, there is a hierarchy of sins, There are sins for which if a person commits, will no longer be a Muslim and would be declared an apostate. An example of this and also the worst sin a person can commit is engaging in Shirk (Polytheism). For this person to be considered a Muslim again, they would have to declare their faith again and its basically back to square one.
There are sins which are classed as major sins but they do not take you out of the religion. However engaging in them continuously without any remorse for violating the commandments of Allah (Glorified be he) puts you on a dangerous course that increases the chances of you ending up as an apostate.
Now let me not sugarcoat things here. It is explicitly clear from the two main sources of Islamic Law (The Quraan and the Sunnah (Rulings based on the actions and sayings) of the Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) that acts of Homosexuality are strictly prohibited and in fact Allah (Glorified be He) destroyed an entire nation for engaging in this act. However it is acknowledged that individuals might have homosexual tendencies, provided that they don't act upon it, Allah (Glorified be He) will hopefully forgive them and admit them to the highest levels of Paradise. The challenge comes when you have deviant Muslims claiming that is ok to be Gay and engage in Homosexual acts when it has been made explicitly clear that it is not.
The conclusion that we come to is that being Gay does not take you out of the fold of Islam. Being Gay but actively declaring you are gay and claiming that in Islam is ok with it makes you a MAJOR sinner in the sight of Allah (Glorified be he). Lastly being gay, but striving to restrain yourself from engaging in homosexual acts could in fact grant you the Mercy of Allah (Glorified be He) and you will be rewarded and forgiven. The rulings of Islam are clear as have been stated to us by Allah (Glorified be He) in the Quraan and His Messenger whom He sent as a source of guidance (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him). It is not upon a Muslim to interpret Islamic rulings in accordance to their desires, accepting what they want and discarding what does not align with their desires. You either take it all or leave it.

I also disagree. Gay sex is a major sin in Islam, alongside shirk (worshipping anyone other than Allah) To act on these desires would indeed take you out of the fold of the religion.

The Quran and hadith directly refer to this through the people of Prophet Lut. Please don't spread misinformation.

This is the 'aqeedah of the khawaarij. Sins do not take you outside the fold of Islaam unless you make istihlaal of them, for example, if you were to say that homosexuality is allowed in Islām then this is disbelief. As for merely acting on these desires whilst admitting that you are sinful then this is not disbelief but a sin.

I advise you to seek knowledge of Islaam because this is a very serious mistake to make and a very basic principle that must be known.

Never describe the religion in such a way. This is disbelief which nullifies your Islaam. Repent to Allaah and never speak such words again.
