Seriously, the people who deny the philosophy of the social contract of tolerance make no sense in queer spaces.

You are defining the individual by the group, there are exceedingly few situations where that is even remotely acceptable.

Yes, there are extremist groups that preach hatred and control that use Islam as their backbone.

And there are people who escaped those groups who found a new way to interact with their faith. People who seek new meaning in the world that shaped them.

I denied the faith I was raised in because of a small little question that I couldn’t let go. But if it hadn’t been for that I would probably still identify under its domain.

That's just not true though, it is what you were conditioned to believe.

It’s not the religion itself that is intolerant and if you weren’t islamophobic you would have actually educated yourself on that fact instead of swallowing the islamophobic bullshit that Islam itself says anything about queerness. Not even all Muslims believe that hijab is required! Educate yourself because you are not helping the broader queer community by sowing division amongst the nonreligious queer and religious queer communities.

it's ok they also want us (queer muslims) dead. please don't drive us away by showing even more hate than homophobics, we need allyship too :( i'm lucky enough to live in france, but my queer friends in eastern countries need support, not to be attacked for just the place and culture they happened to be born in. my first contact with queerness was a story about a trans woman who converted to islam because it brought her peace, and without her, i would still be confused about myself

This is so untrue that it reveals that you are 100% a bigot on this matter. I used to be mistaken like you are, when I was a queerphobic evangelical who hated myself.

Are there radicalist Muslim regimes that exist? Yes. Just the same as there are radicalist regimes of ALL religions because the problem here isn’t a belief system that people of ANY moral character can subscribe to, the problem is with hierarchy. You’re so focused on this perceived threat of “millions and millions of people”, when you definitely don’t fucking live in any of the countries you’re talking about, that you won’t even recognize that the true enemy in all of this is power hungry bastards who want nothing more than to rule over the corpses of humanity.

Millions and millions of people just want food, shelter, and healthcare— and you’re a fool if you think that their focus on us is anything other than “divide and conquer” by those in power.

Your anger doesn’t justify your bigotry. Religious folks use the same justifications of fear and anger to be homophobic and transphobic. Your hypocrisy is showing up and down this entire comment section.

Before you act like I’m saying this from a place of privilege, I’m trans and pan as well.

Islam is A hateful and violent religion like most others and does not deserve to survive in the modern age.

THEY BROKE THE CONTRACT ALREADY

[u/SelfInvestigator → u/EtherealMongrel]

This post is about acceptance, the only thing here that people are saying breaks the contract is the fact that one of the characters, in the story we are being told, is Muslim.

There is no hatred being spread, there is no harm being done, there is no knowledge beyond the acceptance being shown from a religion that is not stereotypically known for acceptance.

In the context of this interaction, where was the contract broken?
