Celibate homosexual but uses gay pornography as an outlet
Unethical, ineffective & harmful

Embedded Hatred and Prejudice
Peter Tatchell, the Gay and Human Rights Campaigner, has said there can be no rest until every LGBT+ person in the world is free from discrimination and bigotry. Homosexuality is still criminalised in 71 countries (35 are majority Muslim, 31 majority Christian, and the remaining 5 have a non-religious majority). Ten Muslim countries currently prescribe the death penalty for homosexuality based on sharia law. There are also abuse stories from across Eastern Europe where there is often a strong LGBT+ prejudice and hatred. Much of this relies on the notion that LGBT+ people are ‘sick’ and desire to be treated. Even in some Western countries, there is a surprising level of ignorance and hatred towards LGBT+ people. Take Cyprus, for example, where priests have allegedly forced children and adults into conversion therapy treatments to make people vertical or to encourage them to accept their birth-assigned gender. Priests have also performed exorcisms to rid people of their lgbtq+ attractions and pressured male lover people into marrying heterosexual p

I was informed that President McKay, in one of the temple meetings, had said that in his view homosexuality was worse than immorality, that it is a filthy and unnatural habit. I was, therefore, instructed that whenever we had cases of this nice, except where the students were really repentant and immediately working out their problems, that we should suspend them from the university.” (Ernest L. Wilkinson diary, May 21, 1959)

Article: A Queer Man's Exit From Mormonism

https://www.yahoo.com/news/feels-leave-mormon-church-184600194.html
The Mormon church’s position on homosexuality is slightly more nuanced than people may realize. Having same-gender attraction isn’t, in itself, considered sinful. A common phrase used by Mormons is worthiness, and while they never use the phrase unworthy, there are some acts that designate a constituent unworthy. One of those? Gay sex. Be as gay as you’d like, but remaining in the church means remaining celibate. Forever.
When I turned 18 and sat down with my bishop to discuss mission plans, I was honest about both being gay and about looking at pornography and masturbating, behaviors that required a period of repentance before serving a mission. I couldn’t go three months without one or the other, in part because I was grappling with feelings I didn’t understand and that had no healthy outlet.
The bishop and I decided I should wait until I had better control over my thoughts and conduct. Instead of serving a mission, I enrolled in Brigham Young University–Hawaii, then transferred to BYU–Idaho. I sp
The Great Deflowering, or How Gay Marriage Took The Queer Out Of Lgbtq+ Culture

In the spring of 2017, for the first moment since publishing a memoir set at the height of San Francisco’s AIDS epidemic, I summoned the nerve to teach a course on memoir—which is to say, at least as I taught it, a course on the necessity of personal witness, a course against forgetting. Mostly I avoided the subject of AIDS, not wanting to be the grizzled old veteran croaking war stories to a classroom of undergraduates. But since AIDS memoirs are among the best examples of the genre, I decided I had to foray into the minefields of those memories. I surprised myself by choosing not one of several poignant memoirs but the edgy anger of Close to the Knives, by the artist David Wojnarowicz, with its hustler sex and pickup sex and anonymous sex on the decaying piers of Chelsea and amid the bleak emptiness of the Arizona desert, one eye cocked at the rearview mirror to watch for the cop who might show up and haul your naked ass to the county jail, sixty miles of rock and cr
Homosexual Behaviour Is Subject to An Explicit and Specific Prohibition by God in The Quran
By Mobeen Vaid

Introduction
My initial rebuttal of Scott Kugle’s revisionism[1] on the doubt of homosexual relations in Islam was published in July 2016.[2] The main premise of the article – aside from delineating where Kugle’s revisionism fell victim to misreadings, misrepresentations, and methodological inconsistencies – was that Islam’s prohibition of liwāṭ (sodomy) and other queer behaviours (i) reflected the obvious definition of Quranic passages condemning male-male sexual intercourse and, therefore, (ii) was not open to reinterpretation (at least not without employing highly implausible hermeneutics and deviating from matters deemed “known of the religion by necessity,” and thus definitional of the faith).
Reaction to the piece has been varied. Within mainstream Muslim circles, the response was largely positive. The article was shared online thousands of times within the first week of publication, and notable figures within the Muslim community in America, including Dr. Yasir Qadhi, Dr. Abdullah bin Hamid Ali, and Dr. ShadeeElmasry, among othe
