How will these resources help you?

The mainstream position in Islam, such as that of the Muslim Council of Britain, is that homosexual relationships are sinful. However, these resources present examples of Muslim groups and individuals who accept LGBTQ+ identities within the faith as well as gay, lesbian and queer Muslims who do not necessarily see a contradiction between these parts of their identity. Academic support is also shown, as well as some of the possible consequences of an intolerant approach to LGBTQ+ Muslim identities. These resources will enable fruitful discussions around sexuality and human relationships within religion and worldviews and contribute more widely to discussions around interpreting texts and broader approaches to the relationship between religion and the contemporary world.
