Muslim & Gay: Inside the World’s First Gay-Friendly Mosque

france_flagHomosexuality is illegal – and culturally condemned – in just about every Muslim dominated country. It’s not an environment that’s conducive to bringing together religion and sexuality.

But one man has reconciled being gay and Muslim – and gone on to found the world’s first gay-friendly mosque.

  • What brought him back to Islam after coming out as gay?
  • What does the Quran actually say about homosexuality?
  • How has the ‘power of one’ led to the opening of inclusive mosques around the world?

To tell his story and share his vision for an inclusive Muslim religion, we speak with Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed – the world’s first gay Imam.
