Assalmu alaykum! 

Name: Akilah

Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her

I am Muslim :)

I completely support all LGBTQ+ people. Please don't send me hate because, in most people's eyes, being LGBTQ+ is haram. I actually happen to be romantically attracted to my gender, but I don't act upon it. I don't date or plan to marry anyone. The reason I abstain from acting upon my feelings is because I want to try my best to obey Allah and the Qur'an. I am trying to keep my Imaan as high as it can be.

I am 100% fine with LGBTQ+ people acting upon how they are. I have no right to tell you how to live your life. It is your life, not mine, so you are in control of your actions. You choose how to live your life. I am fine with anyone living their life how they want to as long as they aren't doing any harm to anyone. They can do as they please as long as they aren't harassing, bothering, harming, etc. anyone else.
