Hey everyone - Have look at this site. Thanks to Craig for passing it on.
The Safra Project is a resource project working on issues relating to lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender women who identify as Muslim religiously and/or culturally (Muslim LBT women). The Safra Project was set up in October 2001 by and for Muslim LBT women. The issues faced by Muslim LBT women, and the (combination of) prejudices based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, religion, race, culture and immigration status that they experience, are unique and currently insufficiently addressed.
The word Safra is related to the words for 'journey' and discovery' in many languages such as Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. The Safra Project does not seek to provide ultimate answers or solutions, and is not a faith group. Our ethos is one of inclusiveness and diversity.

Great site - and a well needed service for Muslims.
ReplyDeleteI found on one of their links the website "queer jihad", http://www.well.com/user/queerjhd/aboutqj.htm
Worth checking out too - a quote:
We are interested in the spiritual lives of gay and lesbian Muslims, and other queer Muslims. We are interested in encouraging queer people to remain true to their Creator, to grapple with the issues, to come to terms with who they are in whatever manner and fashion they are capable of doing so.
Isn't it great to see that they don't try to compartmentalise spitituality and sexuality - it's all one big mix. Awesome!
