You find out your friend is gay, do you hate them?
I actually found out quite recently that one of my non-Muslim acquantainces is gay. I was more shocked than anything. We haven't talked in ages anyway, so I really don't know how I feel towards him now.
It's the act of being gay that one should dislike and not the person, I think. A friend of mine once said that hate is a dark and destructive emotion which can be difficult to overcome.
I think I would pity the person, more than anything. And perhaps pray a little, for his/her guidance.
Now I'm not an expert on gays but apparently people aren't gay by choice. They just are gay. It's a condition. Myth or fact? I couldn't know, but it certainly makes sense. That's why I don't like people making fun of them because they're the people who need help the most and there people are just pointing and laughing.
Also, apparently very, very, very few people are 100% straight which scares the living daylights out of me but alas.

"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
id probably cut relations.
and be very disgusted specially if the person had come out.
would i hate them? if they were openly gay then probably yeh
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Well I know 4 Lesbians all non-muslims (known all for good 7 years or so) and 2 of them go out with each other for over 1.5 years. I went to school with them since I was a kyd, they were in my classes and we'd mingle like usual. But they all came "out" within last 2 years, at first i was like shocked and thought it's a phases but they are all still going on "strong". One of them is really secretive about it, another every open whilst the 2 who are a couple express their love like any other hetro relationship. Anywho back to the point, I didn't treat them any different than before still worked together and chatted etc, the couple have really opened my eyes about homosexuality and i treat them like any other non-muslims. My view on Homos is that it's just another western influenced society way of life, I just have to accept that it's here in my country along with other un-islamic going-ons. However I wouldn't know how i'd react to a male coming out gay????
Their is a simple psychological explanation for why people turn gay. They are unable to interact as much as they would like with members of their own sex and so "try" to be someone else (i.e fom opposite sex) in order to fit in. Thus, although their appearance isn't changed, their thought process is and so they act like members of opposite sex.
One should not hate them because of this, rather, as Osman rightly said previously, we should pity them for being in that situation. Being gay is not a bioligical change. It is a psychological change. In even simpler terms: It is not so much as a physical change as much as it is a mental change.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Yes this is evident in the innate behaviour of animals, not only that they are all hetros but also in their roles i.e. female stay at "home" to look after the offspring etc.

yes but the penguins you see the males look after the eggs while mummy penguin goes and hunts for fish, interesting dontcha think
i think its interesting that over the years how all this homosexuality has been 'accepted' into society. The doctors 50 years ago would say that it is a mental pyscological condition. But now with the continuing change of laws they are given rights etc.
isnt it funny that they won't be recongnised as being married even if they did try to in most countries.
hmmm now the question about if you found someone to be gay, well i think i'd send em straight to Muezzin for a nazi backhander thata make em straight.

You find out your friend is gay, do you hate them?
Assalaamu alaykum
I wont hate them, but I would stay away from them. I can't find myself being comfortable around someone like that.
This act isn't normal (obviously) and it is such a huge sin that the people during the time of Loot AS were severly punished by Allah SWT due to this very same sin.
Ok, I got a question...
If you see a gay man in the female bathroom or vice versa a lesbian lady in the males bathroom....what would you do? :confused:

Haha, lol sooo random but u know i watched this whole program on this topic, (abt penguin fathers being gud dads while mum goes out to find food, it was very sweet) by Harun Yahya on Islam Channel!
You know, I got asked by someone if you find out your friend is suffering from a nasty cancer which society hates and doesn't like, would you don't cut off all ties with them? Of course not most would say.
I was told look at the sinful as the ill, if you leave them alone, they'll just become more ill and eventualy die. But, if we act as nurses, and aid them, over time they will heal.
It's sad to see brothers and sisters who would cut off ties at an instant.

I've attended an all girls school for 3yrs. Some of my classmates I really had to be aware of b/cus they acted sorta "funny" around other girls...even me. :confused: I eventually found out they were not as you call it "straight." Or they were, but loved to fool around in that disgusting way. So I kept my distance.
How can you keep friends with the same gender knowing that she may have some sorta "funny"/"not staright" feelings for you????? :confused:
Homosexuals should be treated within the UK no differently than the British respect Muslims and other religions.
Two adults may choose to live their freedom by mutual consent......
Anti Islam - Islamaphobia
Anti Gay - Homophobia
It's the society that YOU live in if you live in the UK. Accept it before your children luagh at you for being an Homophobic...............
Would we call you "Brainwashed" and thus pyscologically damaged, maybe we can "heal" a Muslim like some imply here. Get over it, please. It's part of multi-culturism. Anything else is double standards
Like has been said I wouldnt hate the person but the act that they indulge in. Having a relationship with the same sex is not that people are born with it, but a psychological issue, where the mind has been corrupted, the same way a paedophile abuses children, they are not born with it as some claim but an issue in there mind.
As for what root said I agree, it something we have to accept here in the west as they are not islamic countries.

asallama alaikum brothers and sisters about a week ago at the UFM.I had a mere argument with a homosexual arab(homosexual arab very rare to find)which claims to be muslim.Somewhere in our little debate he said, "It's not my fault; I was created as a homo." I told him about the people of our dear prophet lut.Seems that wasn't enough to change his little sick, twisted, and not to mention distorted brain.Do you have any thing to say about this indivisual or any thing related to homosexuality?
