AsSalamu' Alaykum,

It's no secret that in Western societies homosexuality is on the verge of quickly becoming a norm, if it isn't already.

What I can't help but to wonder, what if, GOD FORBID! AstaghfiruAllah times 3! Gonna go make wudu!, my child comes to me and says, "Mom I'm gay." What would I do?

What would you do?

Outcast your child from the family? Accept your child's flaw [and everything that comes with it...they bring their partner along for family gatherings, it's made known to the Muslim community, they want to get married...the whole shabang] but continue to have a loving close relationship? Or would you set down restrictions but continue to have a loving close relationship with your child? Secretly ship your child overseas where there is capital punishment for such crime?

I'm just curious.


shadha-

asslamau alaykum

Accept it...put down restrictions with regards to partner visiting.

I'll be making dua that my child isn't going to be tested in that way insha Allah...it's a hard life...most homosexuals tend to be veryyy lonely as they get older.

I think this video succinctly summarizes my thoughts on this issue:

asslamau alaykum

Excuse me for not knowing much about this topic, but from what I've read, being a homosexual isn't itself a sin, but rather the act of homosexuality is, or at least the action is greater than the being.

"Do you go in unto the males of the 'Alamin (mankind), and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!" They said: "If you cease not. O Lout (Lot)! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!" He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy)

Quran 26:165-168

There are only four times that it's noted in the Quran and all talk about the activities of homosexuality.

The best thing to do would to explain the purpose of sexuality, which is to produce offspring and that it's impossible in a homosexual relationship and that it's best to suppress those urges and seek counseling so that he/she could be able to enter into a heterosexual relationship. Given that homosexual marriages are illegal anyway, I'd try to treat it just as a child that wants to have a relationship outside of marriage, homo/heterosexual.

So what would you do, shadha?

The lady at the cornershop has a gay son, pm me for photos and for hook ups with your gay relatives.

Alhamdulillah no fags in my family and never will be under pain of death.

I'm so tempted to post a link to the Electric 6, GayBar video, but then I would have to report my own post for inappropriateness, edit it, and PM myself a warning. So, I'll just be content with saying GAYBAR, GAYBAR, GAYBAR!

That's what I heard too. Everyone is given a choice in life. Therefore, a gay person has the choice of acting haraam or following Islam. They're given a choice, but how they act with it determines whether or not it's a sin.

Throw my hands up in the air and say "hai Allah! meiN Margeya!" No wait. That itself sounds fruity or like something your mom or an aunty would say....

Get a grip!

would you do that if you found out your child had started drinking alcohol? or had stopped praying?? These are very clearly forbidden in the holy Quran, much more clearly than homosexuality - so why the hysteria about homosexuality?
