The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) kickstarted Islamic Heritage Month by launching #Hate2Healing, a virtual social media campaign, drawing attention to stories of hate, racism & Islamophobia faced by Canadian Muslim women, girls, and non-binary people.
A huge premise of Islam is that nobody can judge other humans but Allah. Yet within the Muslim community, homophobia is such a regular part of our conversation. It seeps into our language so thoroughly. We discard our fight for justice when the person is queer. Watch Summeiya as they take you through their journey of what it’s like being Queer and Muslim. Summeiya is also the founder of the Queer Muslim Network Toronto, a Community-based organization serving Queer and Trans youth in Toronto and the GTA, check them out at @queermuslimnetwork on Instagram.
