Lemmy’s ignorance about the basics of the islamic religion is even more depressing. It would be easier if everyone who replied just admit they like the idea of gay muslims because it sounds progressive when A) Islam is a lot stricter than most sects of christianity and has not changed over the years and B) As a muslim you can’t pick and choose which rules to follow. With homosexuality explicitly banned, you can’t call yourself muslim as a gay person. In islamic countries you’d probably be jailed for publicly admitting you’re gay.
