#queer muslim representation
Quote
I’m not ‘out’, and I don’t see myself coming out to my family anytime soon.
That doesn’t make me any less queer – many of my friends know, but even if none of them did, that does not negate my queerness. It just means my experience as a Muslim lesbian is carefully curated.
the only person that you need to come out to is yourself

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.

How is tumblr not obsessed with dead end paranormal park on netflix???
It's a super fun and creepy cartoon (think gravity falls vibes), with great plots and animation.
The characters are very diverse, and it's being discussed openly. What was the last cartoon that actually talked about binders? Or the struggles of coming out in an Asian family? About intense anxiety?
Everything is addressed very sensitively and given the respect it deserves, and it's balanced out with great humor and action.
This show is all about the found family and rebelling against oppression and (literal) demons and ghosts. It's a perfect watch for spooky season so please yall watch it so we get a 3rd season😭

i'm laughing right now because i blocked a dude on instagram the other day because he said that netflix shows are getting "too diverse" and that "there always has to be a character who's a hijabi lesbian" and i am VERY AWARE he was trying to be a bigot but like MY GUY. MY DUDE. WHERE ARE YOU FINDING MAINSTREAM SHOWS THAT HAVE A HIJABI LESBIAN??? ESPECIALLY ONES THAT DON'T GET CANCELLED????

Violet is easily one of my favorite new YJ characters. As a nonbinary person that covers their hair religiously, I've never had a character that I could relate to in those aspects. Violet has been that character for me and I love them so much. Seeing them explore their gender makes me so happy. Harper is such a good friend/girlfriend to them.

Unironically, I think that some of the best representation a group of people can have in media is when someone from that group is a major villain and isn't a stereotype in any way, shape, or form.

One thing I don't think people fully understand the importance of, is diversity shown to children.
For example, I was shopping the other day, and there was a Muslim doll, with all the other dolls. Two boys, must have been no more than five, got really excited, they were delighted to see representation of themselves
Another example, when I was younger, I read a book that involved queer characters. I fully believe that it contributed greatly to my self acceptance, and understanding of myself.
Representation is important.

Although LGBTQ+ rights in Eastern Europe and Western Asia have gotten more coverage recently, many do not know how dire the situation is in Azerbaijan. As a result, many overlooked the contributions that Azerbaijani activist Isa Shahmarli made to the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, resulting in a lack of scholarship on his activism. Some of his contributions include actions he took as the founder and Chairman of Azad LGBT, bolstering queer representation, and providing a safe space for queer Azerbaijanis. Sadly, he committed suicide on January 22, 2014, when he was only 20 years old. Despite this devastating event, Shahmarli has given LGBTQ+ individuals in Azerbaijan and other Muslim-majority countries hope for a future more inclusive of the rainbow.

Hello to all of my non Muslim followers :) happy to see you here!
im thinking about making a support post for other religions, because i feel like you guys should also have the support that my brothers, sisters, and others get!
but i want to hear some other opinions. should i, or should i not? would my audience like me to stick with just muslim support, or have a few posts here and there for other religions?
please let me know!
(also a reminder that my asks and dms are free for anything, including telling me about your day, venting, or telling me random facts! id love to hear from everyone :) )

genuine question here, why did you decide to make Mary a Muslim and a lesbian? Don’t u think that’s disrespectful?
well, i suppose you're making the assumption that there are no muslims who are queer, or that muslims who are queer are being disrespectful by existing, and holding the beliefs that they do, and being from the cultures that they are. i don't, personally, think either of those things are true.
genuine answer? i made mary a lesbian and a muslim, because i know muslims who are lesbians. and i was thinking about how funny and badass they are, and how much they suit who mary is in my head. and i was also thinking about the reasons that fanfiction is so meaningful, and partially i think that's because it gives a lot of us the representation we don't get to see anywhere else, and i wanted those women in my life (or more specifically other people like them) to have a place in this space.
i do understand that this is, in many ways, a very complicated and sensitive topic. so i tried very hard not to be disrespectful. i also understand that to some people queerness in this context is inherently disrespectful. but queer muslims exist and deserve to have stories written about them. and this is a hill i will die on.
so. yeah :)

Like... I know I've said it already. But I just can't get over it. It's really hit me, I think? That we get to have characters who are queer and they don't die. We get to have characters that are old and queer and don't have AIDS; because we've lost so many but now the next generation of queer elders doesn't have that same struggle. We've had some victories. We get to see them reflected on screen. We get to have characters who are baby gays who don't angst about coming out. For whom figuring out themselves does not include a life sentence or even a death sentence. We have people who are just living in Joy on these shows. They get to enjoy Being Themselves, whatever their gender, and whoever and however they love. No one hates them for it. Anybody who does is very clearly the bad guy or not important. I just...
I know that a lot of younger people are like, "Yeah obviously". The same generation who are so beautifully welcoming about any gender expression whatever. For whom being some flavor of gay is as normalized as being mixed race. But for those of us who are older, we are just like... this is the future we thought we would never see. This is the future the righties were scared of when they said that being queer was going to become (Horror!) too mainstream if they let us be legalized. If they let our lives be legalized. Which obviously is a tenuous thing and we have to keep paying attention to it, but still; in the moment? This is miraculous. This is that thing that we always talked about like, "someday maybe we'll see media where gay people don't die. Maybe someday we'll see media where trans people don't automatically die or have miserable fucking lives. Maybe someday we'll feel represented in media". But it was like a pipe dream. We never thought it actually would happen. And we HAVE that now. Just stop and think about that before we go back to work. Take a moment to just bask in the fact that it Exists.
Everything is a Next Step before we go to work to get the next thing fixed, but at least we are standing higher and higher on the staircase now. Our platform has lifted up to where it's visible... and people are not throwing anything at us as much anymore; and the people who do our dinosaurs who will die out eventually. This is proof of it. I'm just I'm so happy and I don't even know what to do with it. I just don't understand how we got here even though I was a part of it... but the representation is so incredibly awesome. I'm happy for every group that's getting to experience this feeling, whether it's because they're Black or Muslim or a Latinx or Native or any time it happens. I want this good feeling to be here for all of our brothers and sisters and neuters and others, and I want it to be forever. And... it scares me because we Have it RN. It's like, finally we have something that they can take away. And I know in real life they're taking away things all the time. So it's like, don't be too happy with the fiction when we still have to fight for the reality. I know there are people still dying out there. It's a weird dichotomy, and it's kind of a brain schism... but I just really think that it's great that we get to celebrate this even for a few minutes before we go back to work.
