Our party is popular among Muslims and it is popular within the LGBTQ+ community. The uniting force between them is combatting the primary contradictions within our society. We both face the problems of housing, healthcare, education, poverty, racism, etc. We recognize that ik eachother. And that makes it easy to put aside some of the different viewpoint in order to organise.

We also have a lot of LGBTQ+ people from the Muslim community themselves. And ultimately I think that is the 'easiest' way to change: from within. The Muslim community also has to face their own contradiction s and they need to find their own way forward. External pressure like we see so often is only, in my opinion, going to strengthen reactionary views.

This does not mean you have to tolerate homophobic viewpoints as a party btw. Because we do not and if it happens we make sure to have a conversation with the person uttering them.
