For every Gay Muslim who has to sit back in the closet, hide their lover and kiss them in secret, stalling our own life whilst watching everyone around us move forward with their lives, their spouses, their homes, their children and pleased parents. We sit here clapping for them silently from the sidelines, sharing their joy whilst choking the breath out of our own dreams to please them.

LGBTQ Muslim communities?

Hi everyone, I’ve fallen off of the tumblr train for a while. I hope everyone is well though.

I was wondering if any of you knew of any lgbtq Muslim communities in nyc that are revert friendly?

Growing up as a gay muslim and coming from a very cultural family i felt i could never make peace with my identity and that i would always have to sacrifice my sexuality. Being pakistani mixed well with being muslim but i was always made to believe that neither of the two could be put together with being Gay. I believed that for a majority of my life until we put it to the test. Going to a holy place with my Girlfriend gave me the biggest sense of relief and inner peace. I went there expecting to experience an inner turmoil, feel anxiety and realise maybe i was doing wrong but Lord knows i have never felt as whole in my entire life as i did in this moment. All my demons were put to rest, and the years of struggle and self-hatred left me. Surrounded by my Lord and my soon to be Wife, i was finally able to be.

And for all those who say that you can't be gay and muslim. We're already here.

I have a complex relationship with the land my family came from, India and Pakistan. They were kidnapped, sentenced to indentureship (a nicer way of putting slavery) and taken to a new one, where they made a new culture and a new tongue. The land they left was freed, becoming two countries at first. Although there is the dilemma of one people with many tongues and many creeds living in the two nations, they are free from their coloniser. My culture is Caribbean, my language is Caribbean and my heart is Caribbean; however, that means that you’ll find the flavours of the land my family left in my culture. You’ll find the same creeds, you’ll find the same textiles and patterns, you’ll find bits of pieces of the same tongues. You’ll find bits and pieces of the same India and Pakistan in my Caribbean. Happy Independence Day India and Pakistan! #JASHANEAZADI #AZADIDIN 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 #IndiaIndependenceDay #PakistanIndependenceDay ・・・ Story behind this one: I was supposed to serve Katrina Kaif, chikni chameli realness, but then I got a concussion... so I brought homegirl Kajol instead in a calm manner (yes, my physical health matters!) and reclaimed White queer spaces for QPOC by blessing them all with Lata Mangeshkar! #Gaysi #gaysian #gayindian #gaypakistani #gayguyanese #gayitaliano #gaymuslim #muslimdragqueen #desidragqueen #guyanesedragqueen #caribbeandragqueen #desigirl #cooliegyal #ragazzaitaliana #dragqueen #nycdragqueen #curryscentedfaggot #haramqueen #modella #model #qpoc #nonbinarydragqueen #queerdesi #queersouthasian #instadrag

#Repost @zaman_aka_sundari Flash back to last week. Each day we are judged by the color of our skin, the clothes on our backs, the food we eat, our chosen partner, and the list goes on. 💃 As a son, a brother, a born Muslim, an openly Gay individual, an artist, and a Guyanese immigrant in the US; with immense pride I performed a piece not only to represent myself Pridefully but also our LGBTQ+ Caribbean community who continuously are attracted, abandoned, stigmatized, and bullied for we are. 🇬🇾 The Deportee Suitcase Solidarity MARCH hosted by the @newsanctuarycoalition of New York City in solidarity of those who are detained and deported was an emotional, uplifting, and inspiring event filled with love, hope and forgiveness. 💃 Thank you to the @caribbeanequalityproject for this opportunity to volunteer, supporting our fellow immigrants, LGBTQ+ community and our Caribbean people.
