    amillionexpectations:

    After all the (ramped up) hate on here over the last few days I got to thinking again about a question I first asked myself and on my old blog a few months ago:

  5. theboredboi said: Not to be stupid, but can what if you have a different “sect” that was more lgbt inclusive?
  6. dyemelikeasunset said: Keep educating. Always keep educating. No matter the response, keep educating. It is not our place to force minds to change, but to provide the tools for them to do so. We must continue even if the road seems bleak

About me

A Tumblr by & for Queer Muslims - celebrating our dual identities.

This is not a space for debate or where we will feel compelled to justify our existence. This is a place for us to express ourselves without fear, to share resources, and to connect with other queer Muslims.

Asks should keep the above in mind. We reserve the right to ignore asks, no matter how "polite", that deviate from our mission of a positive space for us. Negativity, "nasiha", name-calling, takfiring, questioning of our level of Islamic knowledge, and demands for us to justify our existence will NOT be published here or responded to. If people have personal questions/comments for the moderators that step outside the positive & affirming mission of this blog, they should go to our personal Tumblrs (though we make no promises that we will entertain you there either!)
