Answer 1

Unfortunately all the big monotheistic religions are unaccepting of homosexuals.
They are all equal in their intolerance.

Answer 2

Being gay is not acceptable, but that is not about being a Muslim. A gay can be a Muslim too, it is a sin though. A believer might commit a sin, but unless it is in violation of the basics, there is no problem about being a believer of it.
That practice cannot be acceptable, however, he can come to a mosque to pray like everyone else.

Answer 3

A gay Muslim is frowned upon...as we believe that a man should like/love another woman, not someone of his own gender. A gay would most likely be welcomed into a mosque, though. As it is God's house and all His children are welcomed. How he perform his prayers is between him and God. This is because only God really knows why he became that way, for us humans, we can never really know.

Answer 4

Learn - If homosexuality is punishable by death in the Muslim community, and is such a no no, is it any wonder that it is not openly widespread in the Muslim community.

In the days when homosexuality was a crime in Britain it wasn't very widespread here either.

It doesn't mean that there are less gay homosexuals, just that they keep their sexuality hidden from friends and family, and probably marry and have children while secretly meeting other gay men. This is what used to happen in Britain before homosexuality was made legal.

Answer 5

GAY is a kind of MORAL sickness while MUSLIM and ISLAM is TWO different matter.

Those who accept ISLAM as their religion shall not refer as MUSLIM the same to those who believe in Jesus not all are Christian.

Impossible for MUSLIM nor CHRISTIAN being a GAY.

Answer 6

You can be polite but being gay is not acceptable in Islam!!. That's one thing about Islam it has rules & guide lines from God & they are not for us to change or alter!. So accourding to the holy book the Quran gay acts is a sin & will cause consequences during this world & the hereafter!.

Answer 7

I'm Muslim and if you're gay I could careless. If you're a gay Muslim I could care less. It's between you and God. I'd welcome a gay Muslim into a mosque but that doesn't mean I'm accepting to it. I just don't care!!

Answer 8

The huge discrepancies in the replies here, varying from allowing homosexuals into mosques to killing them, shows the poverty of knowledge of their religion, by people who spend half their waking hours on it and pray 5 times a day. What on earth do they teach them all those years in their madrases, unless it is how to kill innocent people of other religions.

As for having a negligible number of gay Muslims in their countries, of course they do !... Who is going to say he is and suffer the consequences? But this is only a small example of the half truths we are told.

I have lived with Muslims and I can tell you. At best, a homosexual or even one suspected of being so, will be constantly mocked and shouted homosexual in the street, or at worse he will be killed by a fanatic who will only receive a light sentence, as defender of his faith.

As for being a gay woman, never mind what the countrys' law says. She has as much chance of staying alive as a snow flake in Hell.

Answer 9

Islam looks to homosexuality the way any religion does.it frowns about it.Certainly a gay person is not welcomed in a mosque.Aids is a disease.Muslims are taught to be compassionate with patients.

Answer 10

This is teaching of Al-Qur'aan

[29:29] "You practice sex with the men, you commit highway robbery, and you allow all kinds of vice in your society." The only response from his people was to say, "Bring to us GOD's retribution, if you are truthful."
[27:55] "You practice sex with the men, lustfully, instead of the women. Indeed, you are ignorant people."
[23:6] Only with their spouses, or those who are rightfully theirs, do they have sexual relations; they are not to be blamed.
[7:81] "You practice sex with the men, instead of the women. Indeed, you are a transgressing people."


God did not accept, so why should we?
As far as worship or coming in to the mosque no one can stop, but he/she can not promote or preach.
We do not allow to punish them, only God can do

Answer 11

to be gay is to have friendship with satan.any individual who has homosexual experience must repent sincerely in front of his creator,allah so that he can prevent himself from turning into a "gay".remember by providing a label of "gay" to yourself ,you can prevent yourself from having a guilty conscience,and that he/she can be punished anytime by allah.
a gay muslim is not acceptable in islamic society as he is trying to disturb and destroy the moral fabric of the society besides moreover he/she is going against the commandments of allah the master of the whole universe.
no a gay muslim will not be welcomed into the mosque because the mosque is a holy place where allah is remembered and worshipped by his pious devotees while a gay has earned the wrath of allah.
