You probably do know) how many times I've tried to explain that a) being gay is not a choice, b) being gay in of itself is not a sin by any form of logic, and c) touching a gay person or food made by them is not going to give you "the gay." I would go into more detail about this but I think that's for another post.Īs an ex-Muslim and a gay person, I am shocked that the comments here are not as homophobic as the rhetoric I heard growing up. PS: I am a convert to Islam when I was 21, I realised I was homosexual when I was 17. Marriage will only mess up two lives, maybe more if you have children. It's not fair on any woman to be married to a gay man.īrothers if any of you are gay, don't think you can cure yourself. And as such I can never marry, and I will never marry. It is a difficult test, straight brothers imagine if your test was to never ever be with a woman sexually you're entire life. So given these two facts, Allah has banned homosexual acts and some people have homosexual feelings, the only logical conclusion is. You can't tell me I'm not attracted to men the same way I can't tell you that you aren't attracted to other women. You can sit there be straight and say all of that but I know what it's like. I have noticed many Muslims try to talk about how there is no such thing as being gay and it's all from the devil. When I was a teenager I tried being straight. I have never, in my 29 years of living, been with another man sexually. I believe Islam is the truth, that means I believe Allah has forbade sodomy and any form of sexual action between two men. Every life is a unique test and therefore my test by Allah is to see how I handle my homosexual tendencies. I believe Allah has made some of us gay to test us, we're all given different lives.
