My best friend is gay an di really like him, so it has nothing to do with the person.

God is fair at the end of the day and we need to live by the law. She should try not to commit the act itself even if it is hard.

But I understand that a mother will always love her daughter, no matter what and this is normal. All the best,

Muslima

Salman, until or unless you have a child whom you love with all your heart come to you one day and tell you he/she is gay, you cannot possibly understand how much pain you feel.  How much sadness.  Do you think for a second I would just stop loving my daughter?  I don't see my daughter as immoral.  I KNOW the homosexual act is immoral, as I also believe the scriptures and what has been said about these ACTS being an abomination before God.  I also know my daughter did not one day just think, "hmmmm, I think I'll be a lesbian".  She fought these feelings very, very hard.  She dated guys a lot!  But she finally had to admit what she really felt in her heart. 

My daughter is college educated.  She graduated cum laude and was on the Dean's List.  Now she has worked for years as a social worker helping elderly and mentally ill clients find suitable housing, medical care, ensuring they have food to eat, etc.  She has spent her life so far caring for others.  She bought a very nice older home and fixed it up herself so that it is a beautiful Victorian style house.  She works in her yard all the time planting flowers and making gardens.  She reads volumes of books.....she has wonderful books everywhere.  She is anti-war, reads books on ALL religions, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, etc.  She is a gourmet cook....even makes her own curry. My daughter is extremely intelligent...but she does not judge anyone. She absolutely refuses to talk against another person.  She feels we all have the right to our own beliefs.  She is rabidly fighting against discrimination for women from all countries.  She has travelled to many countries.

I only wish I could be half the tolerant, understanding person my beautiful daughter is.  If we were all like her, with her love for ALL MANKIND, there would be no war.  So, we have miles to go before we fully understand what causes a person to become homosexual.  One thing I DO know, it is not a simple matter of choice.

Yes, my daughter has to "fight it", Muslima.  Strange as it may sound, you would like my daughter if you knew her, and I'm sure she would like you (as a person) too.  She fights her demons everyday!!  What demons do we have that we must also fight???  The demons of intolerance and bigotry perhaps?  The demons of drugs or alcohol or premarital sex???  The BIG DEMON of lust??? We ALL have our own demons, don't we?

God's Peace to All.

I have to say that just like for normal sexual relationship, a Muslim has to refrein from doing anything.

If he/she feels inclines to homosexuality, it does not mean that they have to do it, but they have to fight it internally.

I am not here to throw a stone at anyone but we have to follow what Gpd asked us to do or not to do. Otherwise we are sinning.

there is no such 'gay gene'. people just try to make excuses for their immorality, i mean scientists try to prove that there might be some thing called a 'gay gene' and thats why people are homosexuals, Allah told us in Holy Quran that He destroyed the whole nation of Lut (as) due to this very sin, do you think that first Allah would put some thing like that in us and then punish us for that?

A lot of medical researchers are looking at a "gay gene" found in chromosome Xq28.  There is much more study and research to be done. 

God's Peace.

There was a Swedish study recently that showed that in homosexual men and women, they had brain function reactions to the pheremones (spelling) of the same sex that were the same reactions that heterosexuals have with the pheremones (again spelling) with members of the opposite sex.

There might be a real physical reason....for whatever reason, these people might be chosen by design to suffer this way.  Who knows what we'll find.

I wish we can unlock the secret of homosextuality.
