why the hell do people think the acknowledgement tht islam is sometimes used to justify homophobia = islamaphobia when it objectively doesnt. and why do ppl also wanna say its racist when theyre the ones who r refusing to let brown queer ppl speak out abt the religious trauma they have and the homophobia theyve faced in the name of islam when the same doesnt apply to white queer people speaking out about religious trauma they have and the homophobia theyve faced in the name of christianity. and why the hell do u think making queer people who were hurt in the name of islam feel isolated and as though our experiences dont matter in a community that was supposed to be there after we were rejected for our queerness often by our own families is worth it for an "islam is a fully pure religion that has never been used to hurt anyone ever" attitude that doesnt do anything to actually stop islamaphobia and creates the idea that islamaphobia is wrong because islam has never been used to hurt people which falls apart the second you breath near it because yes it fucking has instead of the real reason islamaphobia is wrong which is muslims are fucking human people who shouldnt be treated with discrimination and bigotry for their faith (which is distinctly different from having to hear that your faith that has been used to justify homophobia sometimes is used to justified homophobia sometimes btw since you people think theyre the same apparently). genuinely asking because for the love of god as a queer ex muslim im so fucking tired .
#sorry for kinda snapping but ihad to fucking say it bc. im fucking tired#also rbs are very appreciated pls go ahead if i dont want them later ill turn them off#also to be fucking clear idcc abt the ao3 whatever bs blah blah not fucking abt tht so dont bring tht shit up on this post#im just so fucking tired of in general how u all act. ik u think its ur being suchh a good ally but this is dumb white person behaviour btw#acting like islam is perfect and never used to hurt anyone but allowing nuanced discussions around xtianty and religious trauma#from being raised within it. sorry but the only major difference between me and someone who faced the same homophobia being raised xtian#is that that person is pretty damm likely to be white. and you guys fucking know tht okay#flappy rambles
