Brief excerpt from the article:***
Like other aspiring reformers before her, Ani Zonneveld takes positions that make her unpopular with her religion’s spiritual leaders, in this case America’s Islamic elders.***
***Not only does she lead prayers — a task normally reserved for men — but she is an outspoken advocate for gay, bisexual and transgender Muslims. Later this year, she plans to officiate at the Islamic wedding of a lesbian couple, which is perfectly acceptable by her reading of the Quran. ***

What sort of response does advocacy of this nature merit? Does the fact that she is advocating within the context of Islam change one’s perception of her actions?
Please discuss.
