No. No, I just got something in my eye. I’m fine.

    I lived in palestine for years

    Then I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for you to understand that those people are very faithful to god’s word and that sharia law has all logic to them. My guess is that they will change their views with time because they witnessed that the gay community stood with them as the oppressed people themselves and that they won’t have death penalties for queer people, more like give them an opportunity to move out from the country. I don’t see how Islam can change in that regard, since Muslims truly believe that Quran is god’s literal word that’s been unchanged for 1300 years.

      I’m sorry, that’s not at all what I was trying to say. I understand the culture that this situation exists within, but while I understand how it happened, I do not think it is good that it has happened, or that we should respect that they kill people just because of the strength of their beliefs.

      I know many queer muslims, and while I do not see a path forward for implementing queer rights in most muslim countries right now, the existence of so many different muslim groups should show that the quran is not a true monolith - this gives me hope that one day, there really can be peace.
