from the website description:
We’re calling for any Muslim who identifies as part of the LGBTQ spectrum to submit to this blog. Allies and supportive families of LGBTQ Muslims are also welcome and encouraged.
The theme for submissions is quite simply,
“I am not haraam”
(or “my son/daughter/lover/sibling is not haraam”).
We’d like you to share what it means for you to be an LGBTQ Muslim. You can tell us about your struggles, your everyday life, anything that makes you, you!
A year ago I was trying to study but as I couldn’t focus I started writing about LOVE. And without having so much experience on the field, I came up with this:
“Love is when you look at someone who makes you happy so, so, so happy that you can barely put it into words. Love is to look each other for hours without even blinking. Love is to cherish the sky with your hands, is to write your own fairy tale. Love is in every relationship. There is love when you fall and a friend helps you to stand and move on. There is love when a mother hugs her little scared boy. There is love when a father makes crazy faces to his baby doll, just to make her smile. There is love when a little kid takes care of her little sister. There is love between friends. Between Cousins. Between two men and two women, or a man and a woman. We are all made of love. Is everywhere, as they say “Love is in the AIR” It can be weird, sometimes painful but most of the time fill us with grace and happiness. There is no time and places for love, it just suddenly appears and when that happens it might be forever or maybe not forever but as long as it last, you feel completed…you feel infinite”
