Notice I didnt end with a question mark. It's a statement. Where can an openly gay muslim & their partner go to worship in a mosque? No where.

Lifestyle? How about even accept them as people.

Start your own mosque that accepts homosexuals. I'd just put in some kind of bomb supression system and hire security for yourself.

Which means that homosexuality can exist without religious dogma, and is not dependent on it.

Let's all start our own sects of Islam! Mine will have the slogan "We like our Pork BBQ's hot, our beer cold, and our women nekkid! Allah Akbar, ya'll!" The mosque will have a mechanical bull and a Hooters inside!

I've never understood why this group or that group complains that religion XXX doesn't accept them the way they are. A religion is an easy thing to start: write an essay, claim it to be divinely inspired, and rent a vacant doublewide.

Simple.

I thought it wasn't possible to be both gay and Muslim.

I didn't think it was possible to be both gay and anything...at least officially. None of the major religions permit homosexuality, although of course there are offshoot branches that have changed policy in recent years.

The poster who suggested the creation of a new mosque that hasn't got a problem with gay worshipers probably had the best idea, since there are now openly gay churches and synagogues. Why not an openly gay mosque, too?

Isn't that rather like saying it's not possible to be both female and Muslim?
