[quote=Muslima]I think he had a mosque in DC at some point,  not sure if he still has it. I disagree with some of his views but the  Qur'an and  sunnah' s stance on homosexuality is much more complex than many muslims realize. I think a lot of gay Muslims are starting to live more openly especially in the West. There was an article a few months ago about 2 Muslim gay women getting married. Most mainstream Muslim scholars consider homosexuality to be a sin, and I think there aren't many resources in the Muslim communities to deal with these issues or even talk openly about homosexuality. It's usually the elephant in the room, people don't want to discuss it,  know about it or even think about it. This in return causes many issues and further widens the gap between the 2 groups. Some Muslims believe it is even sinful to sit in the same room as someone who has a different sexual orientation. Going forward,  more discussion is needed, more tolerance and of course more education of Muslim scholars about these issues.  We can't just keep ignoring them! [/quote]
