I know how much of a jerk I sound like, but seriously, what if I don't support that community? I don't hurt anyone with my opinion and I keep it to myself, still the LGBT fellas won't stop calling the non-supporters such as me Homophobic and/or Assholes, even though I don't even mention them with bad talk, or any talk at all! I just read that comment which said that "not minding the existence of the community means you are against it, therefore you're an asshole". What does that even mean? Why would they hate us for not hating them (or loving them tbh)? I mean as long as we don't harm anybody with our talk,all is good ..right? Beside my personal opinion, my religious beliefs don't support the LGBT. I am a Muslim. Muslims get into a lot of trouble to saying any damn thing nowadays, y'all think we are scary terrorists and that we hate everyone for just having an opposite opinion, we are feared and hated too. So I have a thing to say, I wouldn't murder a person for having a different sexual orientation, but I also am not able to "praise" them all the way, I just get awkward around them because idk how to behave, so I just don't, due to the social anxiety I have, I always think everyone hates on me for just being that way. Please don't hate us for not supporting you, not all of us are bearded serial killers, we too support human rights and respect other humans, I'd be a good neighbor or classmate but nothing more, because I respect my religion which forbids further acts.

Cynical.
Don't show emotion, don't be yourself, always wear a mask and live in a lie, as it is the safest way to live. To hide your entire being, and every single sentie...

Whatever.
During childhood and growing up days (teens) I had a fear of dying and not making history, not reaching the top of Maslow's Pyramid. Now, at 20-something wha...
Assalamualaikum, I think it's better to not say anything at all or show any expression. As the prophets teach us; speak a good word or remain silent, and show hospitality to everyone. Think of something else, respect someone as a human, not labels. To whoever want to call us, let them be. It's tiring to think about it, it just cause more anger and defensiveness attitude into us. Yeah, It's difficult, I'm having hard time to choose my own words when it comes to not hurting anyone. It's hard to please everyone, but then again I don't have to and just focus my own wellbeing.
For me, I think LGBT or Straight, whatever, is not a big deal. I don't care. Everyone choices means nothing and should not be interrupt. Live our life; that's way more important.
I suggest not to question more about this, and just stick to your believe while still appreciate everyone. Because then you will start having headache about Islam teachings. Some said being too religious and thinking everything religiously is harmful and even bad to the people surrounding you. I hate to call myself Muslim to be honest, I prefer telling that only to Allah in prayers. Anybody else who aren't interested have to know or make me and my religion such a big deal too.
If someone ask you, "do you support LGBT?", say that you support them as a human being or a friend, and smile. It's better and non-directed, non-specific. This applies when joining parties too. You can join any party if someone invites you to, but your niyyah has to be good; to avoid the person get hurt. But don't forget yourself when having too much fun, be humble and modest. Remember Allah and Muhammad.

ReplyThank you so much, your comment made me feel better and think longer! ❤
ReplyYou just don't want to get involved with agendas, that's all.
And trust me, I heard comments from friends (they are Bi) stating there's toxicity in the Homo Valley.
ReplyDisclaimer: this is my opinion, what i believe in. I'm not presenting any facts.
I'm straight and I support LGBTQ. I think you have the right to your beliefs and opinions. You are allowed to not support the LGBTQ community. It's a human right to have your own opinion and belief.
Although I don't believe in hatred and violence. I agree with you, as long as you're not hurting anyone it's totally fine.
The problem (in my opinion) is when people start voting. Now, I'm not assuming that you specifically do this, I'm just talking in general. (Remember, you can vote for whomever you want, I'm not saying what anybody should do, this is 100% opinion) I believe that lgbtq rights are human rights, I think that the lgbtq community is equal to straight people. Just like black people are equal to white people. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists... We're all equal. When people start voting for politicians that and that believe that lgbtq people don't deserve rights then it becomes a problem. These people have power, they rule our world. They can do lots of things with their power. Use violence against minorities, like the lgbtq community. And that is not okay. In some countries, it's allowed to be killed just because of your sexuality.
No matter who you are, i think it's sick if you believe that lgbtq people should die.
They're just humans, like us.
We are all equal.
I'm not going to hate and call these kind of people names, because i don't believe in that.
(Im not assuming you do any of these things, i was just talking in general.)
ReplyI agree with most of what you said. But Islam tells us to advise them kindly or sometimes warn them if we're able to (which might trigger literally everyone nowadays) so you simply decide to walk away so they don't think you're gonna stone them to death or something. Islam says that LGBT people have to be advised, but if that didn't work then simply leave it to them to decide what they wanna do, live and let the others live. And if you yourself are a Muslim with a different interest, Islam says you should ask God to help you and try hard to find the real and right choice of your soul, and Allah shall guide you to the right path as long as you ask him for it with a clear and loving heart. And I think I'll just live my life and not tire myself with the thought. When it comes to voting, you just vote for the person whom you think is better, no matter who they are.
ReplyDont worry. You gotta treat homosexuality as we would any other sin. If a non Muslim commits it then it shiuldnt be a problem for you cuz they dont share the same beliefs. Just take it and move on not affecting your judgement of the person. If the person is Muslim let them know that it is haraam but treat them like how you woild treat someone who commits the sin of intoxication. So yeah you do support human rights but that doesnt mean you agree with homosexuality and that doesnt imply that youre anti LGBTQ ppl.
ReplyWell said, my friend.
The Bible teaches and shares a story of two cities named Sodom and Gomorrah. The people of these cities practiced various forms of wickedness, such as the sin of sodomy, which was an offense against nature frequently connected with idolatrous practices. This story teaches us how much God hates sin. God decided to destroy the cities. Shortly before destroying the cities, He provided safe passage to a Righteous man, Lot, and his family. Lot was fearful after this event, but also learned how Just and Loving God is to His followers and how angry He is to those who are sinful in their ways.
The story has much more context than I have written here - a very good read and lesson.
I fear that today's society has almost reached the same level, and it is a matter of time before God's Wrath is brought upon this earth again - possibly very different than that of Sodom and Gomorrah.
ReplyDear fellow human, I too have a constant battle within me about being forced to accept or face an ear full of hate in return. Though I am not Muslim, I am Mormon - this agenda being pushed is not in keeping with our religious beliefs as well. So where are our rights to freely practice our faith. We too are persecuted and asked - how many wives do you have - oh so you have your own bible, how does that work for you? I understand some of your persecution stemmed from your choice of religion. I wish you peace and comfort in what you do find.
I believe, in due time the haters will get their just reward - I just pray I don't fall to prey to laughter at their just reward, for that would only make me no better than them. May you find Peace and comfort my friend.
ReplyI totally get this, although I'm not Muslim but Christian. There's been a lot of hate around people that don't support the LGBTQ+ community, but no one is saying we hate anyone. We're all just trying to state our opinions like everyone else, because we have that right. I have several stories relating to this from my life.
1. When my family tried to adopt a child, we were turned away solely because my parents told the social worker they would still love an LGBTQ+ child, but would not support that specific decision since it didn't align with their views. The social worker made up a lot of terrible things about us so we wouldn't be able to adopt, all because of that point. If she hadn't done that, my parents would have been able to adopt. (Meaning that opinion alone was fine for adopting families to have, but because of the lies our social worker told her boss, we were unable to adopt, if that wasn't clear.)
2. In elementary school, my sister was asked her opinion on the LGBTQ+ community, and she said she respected them but did not agree. Her classmates proceeded to tell their gay friend that my sister hated him, and most of her class started avoiding her.
I know this is a lot of writing and what not, but I just wanted to point out that this kind of hate happens all the time, completely undeserved. I'm sure it happens in all sorts of other communities as well, but this is just what I've experienced and seen.
