My brother outed me to my Muslim, homophobic family today. I feel a mix of relief and intense anxiety about what this means for my future—especially if that means I’m losing them. Gagged truly

So sorry that it had to happen that way - coming out should always be done at our own time when we feel it’s safe. Whatever happens just know there’s a lot of us on this app that are willing to help in any ways we can if you need it 🤍

That’s not okay for your brother to do that. It should be at your own terms. I’m sorry you’ve experienced that. Hope you stay safe and make sure you find your chosen family and seek support in the queer communities

Sending you so much love. I lost my family when I came out nearly 20 years ago. Grateful for my queer family who love me for who I am ❤️ Remember you’re not alone x

I lost my dad for 12 years when I came out. He’s Muslim too. One day he was lying in hospital and I went even after it all. The joy on his face to see me was the most moving thing I’ve ever felt. I share this because nothing is permanent and, even if they don’t understand it straight away, things can change. Sending love to you. 🧡

I’m sorry this happened to you. As a gay Muslim I understand the complexity of the situation. I have done a lot of research on this and have read the Quran myself to counter any argument that my family and other muslims have thrown at me. There is nowhere in the Quran that states loving or being with the same gender is prohibited. There are references that have been interpreted differently. Happy to give you more facts and information if you need. Sending you love. ❤️

Oh fuck I’m so sorry. I went through the same thing with my brother years ago and it changed the trajectory of my life, turns out for the better. Hope things settle for you 💕🫂

I’m saudi arabian, born and raised there too. I had to choose my truth over my family. NEVER dim your light for nobody, easier said than done I know. sending you all the love in the world 🫶
