It seems like the West dictates how advocacy for queer folks can look: a public parade of scantily clad white men surrounded by gratuitous images of sexuality and Western queer iconography. Queer Qataris (and, by extension, queer Khaleejis) are reduced to “self-hating queers” with internalized homophobia when we try to make space for our own heritage, value, or belief systems, or to find symbols, slogans, and acronyms within our own experience of queerness. We are, instead, spoken for and subsumed into the LGBTQ+ acronym that is not part of our native vernacular. What these Western pundits fail to realize is that our rejection of the oppression we face for our queerness does not mean we necessarily hate our countries, our national or cultural identities, or our religion. And, it certainly doesn’t mean we are willing to become conduits for advancing their fundamentally racist and Islamophobic ideology under a banner of “inclusion.”

I started thinking about Muslim women, which made me start thinking about transness and religion...

Now I'm hyper fixating on religious justification for transitioning, but have no idea how to start researching this... so if anyone's interested, please info-dump on me about religion in an LGBT+ friendly way💖💕

I'm perfectly open to discussions about any part of the LGBT+/MOGAI community, but my main focus with this post is transness.

This is the one time I'm using a dni!

If you're NOT friendly and supportive and you reply, I will block you. If you're anti-religion, this is not the post for you.

Al-Fatiha Foundation

Al-fatiha foundation was an international queer muslim focused organization based in USA. Al-faitha advanced the civil,political & legal rights of LGBTQ+ Muslims.It was founded in 1997 by a Pakistani-American muslim gay man Faisal Alam .

Type : Non-Profit

Founder : Faisal Alam

Purpose : Raising awareness on LGBTQ+ muslims,combatting muslim homophobia

Headquarter : USA

Chapters : Al-Fatiha had 15 chapters in USA,UK,Canada,South Africa.Al-Fatiha also had offices in UK,South Africa,Spain,Turkey.

Website : www.al-fatiha.org/

History of Al-Fatiha

Al-fatiha foundation was founded in November of 1997.Initially it started as an internet listserve.The org. had members from 25 countries, & by October 1998 had developed numerous in-person chapters. Al-fatiha foundation first opened its office in New York.Al-fatiha helped to established a largest queer muslim network.Al-fatiha was a member of Global Queer Muslim Network.

Al-fatiha members hosted international retreats & conferences annually for LGBTQQIA+ Muslims.

Al-fatiha's first International Retreat for LGBTQ Muslims was held in October of 1998.

Al-fatiha convened the 1st American LGBTQ+ conference “Creating a Community,” for LGBTQ+ Muslims,LGBTQ+ people from muslim backgrounds.

Al-Fatiha organized conferences which took place in Boston, New York and London in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and focused on issues such as the reconciliation of religion and sexual orientation.

In 2003, Al-faitha & Salaam Canada co-hosted the ''Salaam/Al-Fatiha International LGBTTIQQ Muslim Conference'' in Toronto.

The last conference of Al-fatiha was held in 2005 in Atlanta,GE.

International Queer Activism:

Through the first International Retreat for LGBTQ Muslims of Al-fatiha,the participants officially decided that the muslim community needed an international org. to address their concerns.

Since 1998, the Al-fatiha foundation has expanded significantly, with 15 chapters located in the United States, United Kingdom,South Africa and Canada.Furthermore, Al-faitha foundation opened its offices in UK,Canada,Spain, Turkey,Jerusalem,South Africa.The Al-fatiha-UK chapter is currently known as Imaan. Al-fatiha South Africa chapter is currently known as The Inner Circle/Al-Fitrah Foundation.

The Al-Fatiha Foundation has received extensive media coverage in the United States and around the world. Many LGBT newspapers and publications have written about its activities, featuring the organization and its members in The New York Blade, Southern Voice, The Advocate, Out Magazine and Diva Magazine, among others. Mainstream publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post also have covered Al-Fatiha’s activities. Featured abroad in Bangladesh,India,South Africa & the Far East, Al-Fatiha has been on radio programs such as BBC and National Public Radio.Al-fatiha's extensive media coverage brought visibility on Queer Muslims globally.

Closure of Al-fatiha:

Al-fatiha foundation was highly criticized by other islamic conservatives & radicalists.In 2001, Al-Muhajiroun, an international organization seeking the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, issued a fatwa declaring that all members of Al-fatiha foundation were murtadd (apostate).The organization Al-Muhajiroun also demanded death of Al-fatiha's members.

Due to constant death threats and fear of getting shunned by their muslim communities, many members of the Al-fatiha still prefer to be anonymous so as to protect their identity.While Al-Fatiha worked to combat homophobia within Muslim communities, it also felt it faced the challenge of seeking to avoid provoking an Islamophobic reaction among non-Muslims.

After the organization's founder, Faisal Alam, stepped down, subsequent leaders failed to sustain the organization.It began a process of legal dissolution in 2011.

Sorry. Couldn't post this sooner. Just been really tired and the most I could do was reblog once in a while.

Anyway

Happy Pride Month My Lovely Blossoms! 🌺 🌹 🏳️‍🌈🌈

Especially to my Arab and Muslim brothers and sisters. I know sometimes it's really hard. But just know that so many of your brothers and sisters are working hard to create a world that's a safe home for every one in our Arab and Muslim communities and families!

My younger cousin (who's a lesbian) showed me her copy of "The Love and Lies of Rukshana Ali" and I was like haha yes I've read it! And her face was like :0! I'm glad she was comfortable coming out to me and that I can be there for her, I remember what it felt like not having an older adult in the family I could really open up to and she deserves to have that love

LGBTQ Muslims Call for Permanent Ceasefire in Front of Stonewall

One-hundred LGBTQ Muslims gathered for a jummah prayer for Palestine in front of the Stonewall National Monument on Friday to demonstrate that there is “no pride in genocide.” “Queer Muslim New Yorkers are rising up in solidarity with Palestinians, and through a queer Muslim-led interfaith prayer, they will stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are facing genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Israeli government backed by the United States,” organizers said in a statement. “Queer communities face historical discrimination, prejudice, violence, criminalization, lack of proper healthcare and/or gender affirming care, and more — and here in the U.S. queer activists have been rising up against increased LGBTQ+ attacks, yet their struggles are being exploited in a dangerous narrative war to suggest that there would be no place for queer people in Palestine,”

HIJAB BUTCH BLUES by LAMYA H.

Alright, changing it up a bit with my book stuff but this one hit home with me. The author draws very interesting parallels between stories in the Quran and her experiences as a gay muslim woman that are very interesting. And if you think you can’t be muslim and gay, or wear a hijab and be gay, or even tackle muslim culture and queerness in one, then you’re bound to be pleasantly proved wrong with this one.

#and you know what? the way the author handles the concept of coming out and anonymity is so fucking relatable #the author remains anonymous per her own choice and thats fucking something #lgbtq books #lgbt books #book recommendations #lgbt book recs #queer book recommendations #queer books #gay muslim #lesbian muslim #queer muslim #muslim representation #muslim books #lgbt muslim #lgbtq muslim #lgbt+ books #hijab butch blues #lamya h #hijab butch blues lamya

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.

I'm so sick of queer spaces being so heavily anti religion to a comical degree. We always preach intersectionality or to look at nuance but then when religion is brought up it's all black and white "hur dur religion bad, you're bad because religion all religious people are going out in the streets murdering trans people and eating gay babies" like do none of us see the irony here? I'm trans, bi and religious and I've gotten hate for it but since I'm a pagan I get less hate than I've seen trans Christians or Muslims get. Not everyone who is religious is bigoted, not every religious person is the strawman in your head. Religion is not inherently bigoted, most of the time the stuff actual bigoted religious people use as justification for bigotry is mistranslations or blatantly wrong interpretations of religious texts. I'm not trying to convert anyone to any religion I'm just begging other queer folk to stop being hypocrites and to stop harassing other queer people for being religious
