Really ugly scenes during @jessphillips ‘ acceptance speech. Absolutely appalling; men shouting down a woman when she’s legitimately won an election is disgraceful and a bad look for our democracy.

I hope that one outcome of this terrible act is that people see terrorists can be of any race, colour or creed. #EndHateNow #FinsburyAttack

My name has only two syllables ‘Fer’ pronounced like the ‘ur’ in ‘occur’ (like “does it occur to you how rude it is to mispronounce my name?”) and ‘han’ like ‘man’ (like “man, your deliberate mispronouncing of my name is #racist ”) #SayMyName correctly!

Great to see @KhakanQureshi bravely articulating what many are unable to articulate due to #homophobia within Muslim commmunities.

“The protests are homophobic, because they deny our existence.” Gay Muslim activist Khakan Qureshi on protests against No Outsiders lessons. Protester Amir Ahmed denies this, saying they “are accepting of them as individuals, but not their ideology"

Pleased to be starting my #newjob today 😊 after one whole year of being off work; I’m glad to have a routine again. A year ago I was #burntout after climbing the #greasypole of #corporatelife and gaining a foothold…

Every time I read this from LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 people that have found the strength to #comeout it motivates me even more to help other #QueerMuslims #GayMuslims particularly to find the inner strength they need to accept their authentic selves.

At home for Christmas 🎅🏾 this year I dressed as gay as I could get away with; channeling “in the Navy” by the village people. My Muslim family take baby steps in acceptance and this year was more validating than the last. It’s a PROCESS and takes time and takes love. #GayMuslim

Thank you for proving what we know already. No one gives a flying f**k what religion or ethnicity you are. No one is going to attack you for who you are at a pro Palestine rally.

Being your authentic self; not having to lie about who you are; speaking your truth. Call it what you will but it’s so beautiful when you’re finally able to do it.

Really feeling this today. I have nephews nieces and sisters that I’m unable to communicate with due to my #sexuality . There has been a death in the family and I’ve been shut-out of the grieving process. It’s really hard.

Coming out as LGBT+ means knowing there's parts of your life you may never go back to. Some relationships may be forever changed. Loved ones don't always love unconditionally. And it hurts like nothing else.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Growing up watching Bollywood movies I really loved seeing the Hindu tradition of Holi being celebrated. Holi is the Festival of Colours, Love and Spring so where better to have my very first experience at @SouthAsianPride Spring2024 - thank you @AsifaLahore for a great event 😍

@Baddiel @Big_Les_80 @mrdarrenperry @BinaShah David; Winston Churchill’s mass murder of people living in the subcontinent were all British citizens under the Raj. The same thing happened. Your distinction doesn’t exist; why aren’t you getting this?

@Glinner Graham - deeply disappointing to hear you fearmongering like this. If we didn’t live in a society with such toxic binary gender roles we would be in a much better place. By encouraging children to be more self-accepting of their gender identity we are improving society.

First you attack @McSaima - then you attack me, now you attack @AdamYosef why on EARTH is @LGBTLabourWM constantly attacking the #QueerMuslim #LGBTMuslim #LesbianMuslim #GayMuslim community?? We are a minority within a minority and time and again ur #WhiteSupremacy silences us!

Was going to ignore this, but point 3 makes me very uncomfortable. Adam Yosef is an LGBT Muslim, and you're saying Salma's association with him is homophobic?

yeahh... he's actually not even a #Muslim - this goes to show that #Islamophobia is a form of #racism . The white bigots that harass and intimidate us for our faith also go after other brown people that aren't even Muslim. Don't trust a person that say 'Muslims aren't a race'.
