I know there are more muslims who arent arabs, but here is an arab group, some who are muslim and some who are not, but this group is composed of gays and lesbians and i'm sure some bi people. I don't know if this group is trans inclusive.
But, yes, there are some muslims who are gay or lesbian identified. And i know there are some muslims who are lesbian and gay identified.
See, the difference between arabs and muslims is that "arab" refers to an ethnic group, and "muslim" refers to a religious group. only 12% of arabs in the US are muslim and 88% who identify with other religions or no religions. So, are you asking about about gay and lesbian arabs or gay and lesbian muslims? because there are more muslims who aren't arabs...
Also, i would like to remind people, before they start muslim bashing, other religions have bloody histories (and even present days) of killing queer people. Just because one might be a public execution doesn't mean it isn't still murder just like what is still happening in the US. We have people raping queer people in the US in the name of religions and torturing them and all manner of awful things. So, it isn't necessarily one religion doing all the damage. and religious movements against certain social groups fluctuate over time. so if there is any sort of specific persecution against queer people by the muslim religion right now, it doesn't condemn a religion forever, just as there was slavery sanctioned by religion in the US in the past, as well as witch burning, and human inequality in the laws right now in the US.

I'm nether Jewish nor Muslim but I know not all Jewish sects are intolerant of gays. Islam On the other hand, being gay can mean death. About two months ago to boys 14 and 15 were whipped and tortured for three days and nights, in Iran, then hung. For having sex together. Imagine, in such a peaceful religion.

I think you should ask a Priest - about the gay issue.
Don't understand Part 2 of your question. Why not take all of your religious questions up with your religious leaders. Or don't you have any religion? You can still walk into any House of Worship and explain how troubled you are with anyone who is different than you. Unfortunately there are others like you - so maybe there is a remedy for your bigotry.
