Look at fundies from all religions, look at gay men in the black community and how they are shunned by their families and churches. Look at the Xtian fundies all out war on LGBT, and Muslims, shit...

There are even websites dedicated to finding a LGBT friendly or affirming church...

I tried to find a LGBT friendly mosque and there may a couple, maybe-

Only found this one article so far-
Progressive Muslims Launch Gay-Friendly, Women-Led Mosques In Attempt To Reform American Islam

And as I type and search- found one-

Dayaiee Abdullah, D.C. Imam, Provides Counseling, Weddings And Prayer Space For Gay Muslims

(RNS) Imam Dayaiee Abdullah never knows how many people are going to show up for Friday prayers.

Some weeks, nearly a dozen men and women gather at a Quaker hall in northwest Washington, D.C., where they kneel on prayer rugs laid out to transform the room into a Muslim place of worship.

Other weeks, Abdullah, a convert to Islam, sits alone.

He may be the only openly gay imam in the world, and he formed Light of Reform mosque more than two years ago so people like himself could worship without fear.
