i think gay people should be living as they wih and do whatever they want. they are humans too and if they love their own kind, it is up to them.
It is up to allah (swt) to judge people, not humans.
The problem is that we are only permitted to have relations with who we are married to. The Qur'an is very explicit about who we may marry and we are not permitted to marry a person of the same gender. Any homosexual relationships are therefore not permitted. Although it must be a very difficult life to live, it is no different from heterosexual people who desire to marry, but are each forbidden to each other.
WRONG!"I'm comfortable with who I am and happy to say who I am in public. This is the right time for me ... I feel it is right to be out in the open about my sexuality. If more people do it, the more acceptable it will become. That must be a good thing
Sister Karima, I think this topic about Muslims being gay and thinking that it's ok thing to be.
See what''s happening? Movies like "Milk"and "The Kids are Alright" are designed to get us to sympathise with these people and accept them. And the rresult is that more and more people think it's ok to be so and succumb to their desires instead of fighting them.
I believe that people who declare themselves to be gay do have these feelings and desires of homosexuality in them. But they should fight it. For the sake of Allah and Islam they should struggle against these desires. Hollywood and secular thinking of the west has made us believe otherwise.
Masjids and madrasas have to take up this issue and talk to the Muslims about these things and make them understand that it is totally against Islam to be so. This is not happening enough. I know of marriages (Muslims) that have ended up in divorce because the guy couldn't resist his homosexuality. These people need help, and I mean real help, just like drug addicts and alcoholics they need to be taught and educated. Not shunned or despised. Life is a struggles, everybody's got problems. And if these people struggle against their feelings and become true Muslims I believe that Allah will reward them greatly.
Yeah, but like I said, this advice is all good for Muslims who are grappling with this issue, but it's not exactly something we can promote and enforce when it comes to non Muslims... Our beliefs stem from the idea that Islam is from God, and since they lack this, theres really nothing stopping them from thinking it's okay. This, as I mentioned, is what makes the topic of homosexuality very difficult when its brought up with people outside of Islam.
Sadly to many people in the world (whatever their religion maybe) religion belongs only to their places of worship and not to their homes.
Take the example of the Prophet(pbuh) and look at what he did in different situations. If we all acted on our hate, there would never be any peace on Earth.
"Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind." - Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).
You don't have to mix with them, or in any way encourage them, just ignore them and let them get on with their business and you with your own.
The definition of the term freedom according to Islam is the exact opposite to the meaning in the West. According to Islam freedom means becoming the "master of your desires", while in the West freedom means becoming a slave to your desires.I believe that people who declare themselves to be gay do have these feelings and desires of homosexuality in them. But they should fight it.

Allah will give us hell because we are gay,
The more difficult question is if we are born into a certain sexuality which I believe is the case with some who are homosexual why would God do this.
