I'm a 25 year old gay male Pakistani Muslim, I know I am gay I have accepted it but my family can't and won't and neither will my fellow Muslim brothers at University, my muslim sisters can accept it and are accepting and tolerant...but the muslim brothers can't....even though I know of at least 5 Muslim brothers in my friend group who are closeted and regularly sleep with men in Birminghams gay village/and attend Birminghams Hurst Street where they hook up with men regularly.

Do your “friends” who don’t claim you follow every aspect of Islam? No. So they are the unreasonable ones.

Doesn't make a difference what you identify as, people will always have different opinions and ideas about things - by trying to be accepted by everyone you're trying to reach an impossible goal, you can't change people themselves and that is the reality. They probably feel that way because you remind them of their own struggles with this (which is why they are closeted) and it probably isn't as personal as you may feel.

I'm really sorry the people around you don't accept you, but don't waste your energy trying to appease them. And please remember that their attitude is not a reflection of anything wrong with you, but rather them! You will find your people one day, sending hugs in the meantime x

Yes it's the same thread on TSR by Muslim or Catholic students, religion doesn't let us be free. You should be free to do what you want, if you're gay you should be allowed to express your sexuality just like heterosexuals should be free to express their sexuality (instead of being reduced just to a marriage and no sex outside marriage). Being atheist is great in my opinion, it lets me have all the sexual and romantic relationships I want in my prime years. So I suggest anyone to be atheist

oh hush. every single thread including muslims has you trying to convince them to turn atheist. not EVERYONE agrees with atheism so stop convincing those that clearly do not want to be convinced.

Do you think the thread starter is likely to be swayed into atheism by that post?

probably. it’s just that i’ve seen that specific persons comment all the time saying the same things and no one has called them out for it .

You can report posts for genuinely not being constructive, but if it's just a difference of opinion then there is no harm. If someone is not considering leaving their faith then they'll just be ignored.
