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.

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NOWHERE IN HER ARTICLE DOES SHE SAY SHE IS NOT IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP. ManY STRAIGHT ANd GAY PROPLe dO DATE BEFORE GETTING INTO CIVIL UNION OR MSRRISGE. YOU ARE ASSUMING SHE IS SLEEPING AROUND WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
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.
OK. I AGREE. SO DOES CHRISTABITY. BUT CHRISTIANS DO ENGAGE IN THESE AND CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. SO TO THAT EXTENT SHE IS AS GOOD OR AS BAD AS HER CHRISTIAN COUNTERPARTS RELATIVE TO CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. (USED CHRISTIANITY AS EXAMPLE SINCE U MENTIONED THE WEST). SO YES. YOU ARE CORRECT. BUT IN THE BIG PICTURE PROBALY NOT THAT RELEVANT (FOR HER). AND IT IS HER LIFE.

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.

IN THIS EARTH, PROBABLTLY 0.00001% EXERCISE SELF CONTROL THST IS EXPECTED, NO DEMANDED, OF HER. AGAIN YOU ARE TECHNICALLY CORRECT.

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

Her Piety - interesting choice of words. To me pious are those who use religion to bring down someone. She is simply finding her way. Her own path.

One could argue that she is NOT using harsh language. Nit even labeling her critics as “BSing”. While the kindest words said about her here is BSing.
