Gay and Muslim--no longer an oxymoron?
Ten years ago,the words "gay" and "Muslim" seemed like polar opposites, and an out gay Muslim seemed as probable as a black member of the Ku Klux Klan. All of the seven countries that treat homosexuality as a crime punishable by death are Muslim. Of the 82 countries where being gay is a crime, 36 are predominantly Muslim.And you thought the fight to legalize gay/lesbian marriage was hard.
But gay Muslims are starting to claim their identity, Johann Hari reports. Can liberation be far behind?
