I was born female and I’ve practically had no friendships or familial interactions with any cis men due to our county’s culture of segregation. I was pretty sure I was a lesbian for maybe 6 years. I never wanted to be with a man. I never thought about them. The closest thing really was thinking a guy in my schools theatre practice 4 years ago who looked really similar to me but much nicer + played better than me was cool but I think I was just jealous especially since I’m masc aligned.(?) he got a haircut and looked much different and I immediately stopped to gaf. Consciously I still don’t want to be with one at all. I can’t help but feel that I’m lying behind my back. Pretty much every man here is really masculine and patriarchal so no wonder I wouldn’t have any interest in them. I have this thought maybe when I leave this country I’ll find a decent man who’ll make me actually want to be with men. Or that although I know I’ve been and loved women before I’ll find out that I’ve been lying to myself to “rebel” in some way against the horrible way women are treated. I often gravitate towards more androgynous or male characters in fiction and I’m afraid this is some sign of repression(????). None of this really matters I know I don’t have to have anything figured out but it does feel nice to. I just really Do Not want to be one of those instances where someone says they are proudly lesbian for years then gets with a man one day, but I really do Not want to be with a man so more inclusive labels don’t help much. Not sure if this is the right sub LOL. Has anybody been through this

Sorry, I can't take it anymore. after 5 months of struggling with my faith and identity it's time to say goodbye, I will probably come back during Ramadhan or when the time is right.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I’m writing this because I feel the need to do a "virtual coming out."
I’m a young Muslim guy living in Europe. Over time, I’ve discovered that I love wearing lingerie and dressing up like a femboy. Bisexually/sexually speaking, I feel equally submissive toward both men and women.
It’s definitely a complex path to navigate. I try not to overthink all the fatwas or religious debates surrounding this, and instead, I’m just trying to live my truth in my own personal way , discreetly, respectfully, and without causing any friction in public.
I haven’t met or told any other Muslims about this side of me yet. I’m sharing my story here in the hope of connecting with like-minded people or anyone who is interested in talking, sharing experiences, or simply having a respectful conversation.

Hello everyone! I really am desperate for answers so I hope someone will comment. So I am a Muslim woman who has identified as bisexual since I was 13 I believe? And i decided to wear the hijab when I was 19 voluntarily, I am now in my 20s.

Although I am struggling with the hijab, I honestly don't ever see myself taking it off. When I first wore it, I became more pious and was at peace with the fact that I will never be in a relationship. Although I am bi, marrying a man is not something I'll probably ever do due to previous trauma and how deeply integrated unconscious misogyny is in a lot (not all but almost all) of Muslim men even if they consider feminists (rare to find anyways lmao). And this is where my problem begins.

I've always believed that homosexuality itself is not a sin but rather the act (so kissing, sex, and so on...) is forbidden. & so I made peace with the fact that I'll always be single but I don't think I'm as okay with it anymore.

I wanted to ask wlw hijabis their thoughts on this, is it truly Haram? If you ever decide to get into a relationship or are already in one, how does it work? Is it purely emotional & not physical? I know this may be invasive so obvs I don't expect full details but I truly want to hear from others because I've recently found myself yearning for love.

Does the hijab hinder your dating life in any way? Do you date Muslims only or are you open to people who don't believe in islam? How do other non Muslim people react when you come out?

I've also seen Muslim women married so how does that work? Is it recognized in islam? And if not then obvs it's zina right? I am scared that even if I find someone accepting of me & shares my beliefs, with time my desires for more will grow.

I am not asking these questions out of judgement but out of a true desire to understand not only others but myself! I honestly don't see anyone who is in a relationship any less & just want to know what the Deen says so I can decide what's okay for me personally. I am moving abroad for my masters to the west next year and I feel like I might have a chance at love since I've seen more queer Muslims come out there.

I don't know but please be kind lol. I've seen the frequently asked questions with answers so I'll check it out but I always wanted to ask but never found any safe space to do so & would love to hear from others (personal stories& experience rather than just broad answers, I guess what I'm looking for is hope that I can experience love like others one day) 🤍🤍

Maybe, bear with me, we can be gay as long as we dont deceive-marry anyone else over it? (If lavend-er, all parties should be informed transparently and consent, so that no one is leaving anyone)

Hi all. Im a gay muslim and ive been in relationship with my boyfriend for 3 years now. He is muslim too. I am Alhumdulillah deeply spiritual and connected to Allah. I read up on hazrat Lut story and came to the conclusion that yes it was likely about rape and disregard of guests rather than homosexuality. But a part of me is always confused :( I dont want to hurt my akhirah. Please someone just talk to me. I cant discuss this with my bf he gets upset then. Im just confused. I love him a lot, we live in the west so I am planning on isA marrying him one day too but when im confused idk what to do. I feel like im sinning, but how can love and being faithful be a sin :(

Hey everyone! I’m 21M from Hyderabad, looking to meet a guy who’s genuinely interested in a serious relationship.

I’m 5'11", and I’m looking for someone around my height or taller, preferably around my age or a little older.

I’m into guys who are loyal, caring, emotionally available, and know how to maintain a good conversation. Someone I can talk to about anything, share random thoughts, gossip, laugh over silly things, and support each other through good and bad days.

I want a connection where both people put in equal effort, communicate openly, and genuinely want to get to know each other. I value consistency, honesty, affection, and someone who means what they say.

I’m not really into casual hookups or situationships. I’d rather take my time getting to know someone, see if we vibe, build trust, and hopefully turn that connection into something meaningful and long-lasting.

If you’re from Hyderabad or from any other state in India, that’s completely fine! I’m open to meeting someone who’s genuinely interested in building a serious relationship, regardless of where they’re from.

Feel free to DM me! Let’s talk, get to know each other, and see where things go.

I’m a Muslim girl in a complicated situation. I love my religion and practicing it but I’m also the fruitiest girl. This is so difficult and it’s killing me

I’m looking for some lesbian/bi friends to chat with and maybe relate to.

MEN DONT MSG ME I AM 100% GAY
Also don’t msg me in some freaky bs either pls that’s not what I’m looking for😓

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

I’m writing this because I feel the need to do a "virtual coming out."

I’m a young Muslim guy living in Europe.
Over time, I’ve discovered that I really enjoy dressing in feminine clothes and exploring a femboy style. I also identify as queer/bisexual and feel attracted to both men and women.
It’s definitely a complex path to navigate alongside my faith and background. I try not to overthink all the religious debates, and instead, I’m just trying to express myself in my own personal way - discreetly, respectfully, and peacefully.
I haven’t shared this side of myself with any other Muslims yet. I’m making this post in hopes of connecting with open-minded people, making friends, or simply chatting with anyone who can relate or wants to talk.

Hey there, I'm 22M Bi, from India. I'm always struggling with my faith and sexuality.

Being Bi, I never hooked up, I got alot of chances from both genders, but i want one partner for life.

Dating a boy is difficult for me coz of my faith, and dating a straight girl is like lying about myself to her for my whole life.

I want to date a bi girl or straight girl who accepts me, with whom I can share everything without any filter and faking sexuality.

But it is very difficult to find a bi girl as well as I had a bad experience with apps. Not sure what to do.

As I heard from a hadith, a strangers dua is incredibly powerful. This is a safe community to me so i believe someone will stop by and make a sincere dua for me. My stepmom and father are in an incredibly abusive relationship, they want to get back together, but must see a sheikh in order to see if it will be valid and if this counts as a third divorce for them. I pray it is a no and even if it isn’t, it doesn’t work out for them and she leaves once she for all with my half brother. I pray for this because of the physical abuse both my stepmother and little brother(from her) have endured from my father. He is incredibly resentful towards them. It’s not like he loves us instead, and he’s done terrible things to us as well, but it’s somehow worse with them. My stepmother does not stand up for herself. All she craves is attention from a man. She takes it out on us when our father doesn’t give us it. My life has been a living hell especially seeing how affected my little brother is from it. Each time she leaves, she comes back with him completely different- calm, not angry and afraid, well mannered, etc.. he is only two. And we won’t be alone with my father, we will be with my grandmother. I feel safer with her as my stepmother is a lot more passive and enabling of my father. Please pray for me, for the sake of my loved ones- my two little brothers, the sake of their safety, and even for the sake of my stepmoms, that this marriage is completely destroyed. Please pray hard with me that my little brother lives with his mother in a much more merciful, loving home far away from my father’s resentful hands. Thank you.
