Just airing my thoughts out.

I have met many muslim/malay gays in singapore and i am startled at the surge of muslim men identifying and declaring their sexuality despite the conservative background we come from. Many have stepped out of the closet despite going against the staunch muslims and society who are either true to their faith and/or addhering to the society's stand on homosexuality.

Being gay and muslim is like living in two separate worlds. (Well, at least to me.) I frankly strive to be a good muslim whilst on the flipside, i have tendencies for ppl of my same sex. I, personally am in a dilemma. Having grown up and sent to madradahs and religuous classes, i am rooted to the islamic principles but i cannot shrug my feelings for men.

Turning to the muslim society stand on homosexuality, there are strong oppositions against us. I firmly believe that the muslim society should take a nonchalant approach to this issue. Having been and read numerous articles on this issue, i can confidently conclude that: "It is not the duty of a muslim individual to discriminate nor pass judgment on another muslim. It shall be the task of the Almighty.". I understand that muslims are forbidden to either discriminate nor support homosexuality.

I think the recent campaign against homosexuality spearheaded by muslim and christian groups serves no apparent purpose except to discriminate the LGBT faction and consequently, sending a signal to the LGBT group that we are not humans, hence undeserving of any civil liberties accorded by the constitution.

I firmly believe that the recent Court of Appeal judgment on Section 377A has sealed our fate. Nonetheless, the law is consistently changing and as we progress forward, i think that the legal perspective on this issue would develop as well. I do not wish to elaborate further on the Court of Appeal judgment as im afraid that further elaboration would be a contempt of court.

I shall end here and to my muslim/malay friends, do not despair for the law is constantly evolving consistent to the change in society.

fiefie, most religions don 't favour homosexuality. In that sense you are not alone and it doesn't matter if you are a muslim. The problem with the muslim religion might be more that there is no authority to adapt it to more modern times and to rethink some rules. We can take the Hudud issue here too. The issue is what priority is there, are the state laws superior to you or religion. (whereas I personally think religion should not involve into the state governance (secular state), if it does, you will see many issues. Just don't get so much conflicted by religion and live your life. Your parents might be more traditional, most parents don't prefer their kids to be gay. thats nothing very special too. From most of my experience parents would always be there for their kids, even if they are gay. Only few would reject. In Singapore nothing happens to you if you out yourself as gay. The more come out to parents and families the more acceptance will be. if the guys stay in the closed, nothing much will change. In fact, as a gay Malay in Singapore you should be better off than in Malaysia. However, nowadays I even see many gay Malaysians openly in the bigger cities.
