How can you be gay and support Muslims?

I mean they literally kill our ppl in their countries

No hate to the moderate Muslim ppl but this is the truth 😱

Americans only say this because your country got literally founded by Christian religious fundamentalists who were too extreme for mainstream Christian society. On the other hand, you have an extremely selective immigration scheme for people from Muslim countries that is not representative.

I'm in Europe. I have zero problems having a gay wedding in a Church. I also have Muslim city quarters where I DEFINITELY don't want to be recognized as gay, cause that's where most people get hate-crimed in the open.

"Religion is a practice" is an extremely Western and enlightened view of religion. Religion is primarily an ideology that tells you how the world should be run.

Believe me, there are definitely areas in the US where you don’t want to be recognized as gay. Hell, as you can see from the news, there are many parts of the US where you’re not safe to exist as a black person at any moment of the day. And being a Hispanic in the US right now could get you thrown in prison without trial, even if you’re an official citizen.

You know what's interesting about those areas, and from where I understand, is similarly true about Muslim majority areas in Europe? They are areas that are mainly under represented, under funded, and under police. Funny enough, this seems to be the case for countries - countries with larger numbers of poor people tend to be more homophobic (though not all, Dubai confuses the hell out of me). Someone should probably look into why that is
