    My father threatened to kill me with a gun when he found out about me. I have not spoken to him since. He is from the conservative area around Peshawar. It's so sad that our parent's still think like this.

    I don't get Muslims some times, how they always say "God will judge you" but they do all the judging!!! Let your people love their lives and let God judge us!!!! They Also say God is loving but in that case if your a good person God will let us in heaven. In Devout Muslims idea you being gay, you won't Get into heaven but a suicide bombing Isis member will after he kills innocent kids, women and men!!! I think a loving and caring God would send dude to Help and let you in heaven.

    In islam if u have such feeling then u are told to suppress them and u are strictly forbidden to act open them. If u do suppress then u will get lots of reward after life as this world is a test for believers. Second imam Bukhari said to keep fast as much as u can if u have these type of feelings. Also u can't marry a woman if u have such feelings as u can't give the rights of woman given by Allah.

    When a Christian puts on display a homophobic attitude, he is called out for being a bigot, a fascist, whatever. When Muslims displays homophobia, then they’re just being “devout”. Leftist brainwashing at its worst. where’s the puke emoji 🤢
