Here is why i disagree with you. In her case she got no choice but to have “sex outside marriage”. I don’t believe she used works premarital sex.

so for her sex outside marriage only option.

As for interpretation of ANY religion being varied just look around u. Ahmed I non Ahmed I Shia sunny just within islam. Every religion has room for interpretation. And she has every right to her interpretation.

@Southie

Also she is not trying to sway anyone.

As for abortion, pro choice all the way.

As for iron clad - you used prematital sex as example. In her case since marriage not option this is her only choice. She calls it sex outside marriage. Which in her case is nit cheating.

To me she is a true religious person. And those who are abusive towards her are not.

Folks here say don’t judge. Onky God can. Except in this case boy r they judging.

She lives in a Western country where she could have a civil union if wished it. If it’s her intent that matters then she can make do with what she has. Many gay people, before legalized marriage, committed to one person. She clearly states that she doesn’t. I think all sects of Islam are agreed that this is a clear cut “no”. That’s not up for interpretation, but she insinuates that it is.

There are two separate issues here. She can advocate for tolerance, and I agree with her here, without *******izing religion. Islam is not in tune with premarital sex and abortion as contraceptive. If she thinks that’s backwards, fine, that’s her opinion, but don’t try to make religious arguments for why they’re okay. Admit that you’re knowingly breaking rules and trying to justify your behaviour. Part of religion is self control, which she clearly does not believe in.

I can defend her right to live as she wishes and still call her out for BS’ing about her piety.
