You’re being very passive aggressive lol. Except for “because religion says so” give me one logical reason how a gay person harms you or your family. Keep in mind that no couple, homosexual or heterosexual should be publicly affectionate, so if someone behaves a certain way in the privacy of their home, and if marriage (which is just a moniker, would it be better if we called it a civil union?) gives them equal **civil **benefits, what’s the issue? There have been plenty of threads on this: homosexual unions predate Abrahamic religions so your opposition to them (non religious civil unions) is irrational.

Gays are the ones being excluded because…well just because. They haven’t stolen from, hurt, or harmed any religious person in any way, shape, or form, yet they are not wanted there. I believe that’s discrimination. It’s like old racists who say they have no problem with blacks, they just don’t want them in white neighbourhoods. If gay marriage is against God’s rules then let God judge them. An Imam/Rabbi/Priest has no business being in someone’s private life.

I have a question for you: should mosques ban anyone who drinks? What if a thief was only sent to jail but wasn’t prescribed a punishment outlined in Sharia, has their crime been properly atoned for? If not, should the mosque exclude them too?

I apologize If I came across as being anything other than just curious to gain perspective on differing points of view.

People will always have views according to their beliefs, and everyone is entitled to believe and practice what they feel is right for them as individuals or as groups. I’m in no position to judge or put conditions on anyone except myself.

Masjid is the house of God. The same God we call Rab-al-Alameen (God of All Mankind/All worlds); therefore, it is logical that all creatures, all humans regardless of their ways of life/acts/beliefs belong to Him alone, and He alone is sufficient to judge our actions.

My point of sharing the article was to highlight the “other side of the spectrum” because the article was relevant to the topic being discussed. Where you have liberalism in the extreme, you will also have to account for religious extreme. The beauty is in finding the balance that neither treads on anyone’s fundamental rights, nor enjoins anything that may be seen as obscene for a healthy society. (Definitions of which keep changing according to time/era).

In this case, the Imams wanted to voice their discontent with the proposed law, so as not to be seen as being voiceless, so they’ve raised their objections and displayed their position on it.
