As a British South Asian, I remember occasional rumours of people who had taken their own lives and how this was swept under the carpet by families and communities. I always suspected this was because they had been forced to live double lives which they could see no end to, and no way out of. This 10 minute video will give young Asian LGBTQ+ so much strength and hope. Thank you 🌈
The double life which omar mentioned is so relatable , i feel so claustrophobic , because i cannot represent myself who i am properly to people , but i cant fully express it too because i am too scared what if the other person is homophobic or what if i was socially excluded everywhere ,
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s always fascinating to hear everyone’s coming out story, especially when a particular religion or culture is involved. I can relate but with fundamental Christianity. I’m glad to hear that you and your mom have continued to work through it even though she does not 100% understand.
My Muslim parents keep talking about gay people and they think there bad people I'm only 16 so if I come out they will disown me Omg thanks to everyone for the support ☺️☺️👍 And it's true if they really love me they will accept me for who I am Also it's elligal being gay here, yikes for me
@@fatimaaymandesouky7378 there is no need to cut ties. I'm gay and my family would disown me too, but I love my momma more than my life, so even if she hates me, I'll keep loving her, financing her, taking care of her when she grows old etc. And I didn't feel like leaving Islam tho ..Cuz I am a believer, so definitely not getting in trouble with my family for religious reasons like Omar 😅. I would just work towards finding the perfect balance with everyone.
I can relate so much to you. The whole being friends with opposite gender (in my case boys). Thinking you're born in a wrong body. I myself am a Pakistani. I don't know if could ever come out to my mum or family. Also being a Muslim makes it even more difficult. I don't know what to believe anymore. So exhausted.
Dear Amy, if Hawa ( Eve) was created 1st to pair with another Hawa (Eve) at the beginning of time, you wont be having friends with opposite gender. Because you , me and the rest of human beings from the past and present didnt even exist in this world at the first place. Your issue is basically you have not learnt to understand the nafsu in you and in each of human beings. Modern days have mixed understanding of what is love, what is lust, what is desire what is need and modern people are at lost. Dont be one. Nothing comes easy if you want to taste beauty. Having difficulties means you are on a right track to become human. Patience is virtue and you will learn something from this. Keep finding truth of why you were born in this world. Remember that you have your heart in you. Listen!
To all the haters saying about Muslims should be gay let me tell you that something 1: If you are LGBTQ+ that’s fine as it’s your decision. 2:If you think that Allah (god)doesn’t like gays why would he make them in this world 3:love is love and what is gender to define you it’s just small differences that don’t mean anything. Yeh so there is my top reasons why being lgbt isn’t bad
1. Fine 2. Allah would never make a person that transgresses far like this. I deny the claim that he does this for a test too, that would destroy the purpose of judgment day anyway. 3. ove definitely is love, but that is limited in Islam to a man and a woman, nothing else. Yeah more like reasons why Islam should not be compatible with the lgbtq.
That fact that this is something shaiytan does, shaiytan makes the person do this and also that its something not natural not something suppose to happen. Allah swt told us that we are supposed to be married to the opposite sex is what we have to do as we do all the other things. Well, one more thing that the prophet lut AS had in his ppl who were involved in this. And then their was the disaster happen and now that place became the dead sea. This is an example.
Y'all who say being gay is haram or practice gay sex is haram, while especially you are yourself Muslim and lgbt I feel bad for you, because you are suffering from internalized homophobia and insecurities. Love is not haram, Islam means peace and god loves lgbt regardless!
yes! the story of Lut's people was about man-on-man rape, not about love or companionship. god says people act on their disposition, and he has used his divine power and created a diversity of people, including those who love the same sex!
BABE 💙 thank you for sharing your story first of all. Not a lot of us can gather up this courage to come out to our Muslim family and community. I just pray and wish the best for you man. I'm so happy for you. Please don't ever pay attention to what these homophobic hypocrites say.. being LGBTQ+ is not even a choice.. it's as natural as being straight. Much love to you.
Hello Omar, Thank You for posting your coming out story, I know from what I've read and seen on Social Media that to be Gay in a Muslim community can be very dangerous for Gay Muslims and I am so glad that you are in a safe and Loving relationship with Matt. I think it was very brave of you to post your video and I hope it gets a lot of views and a load of good comments. I LOVE the "Matt and Omar" channel and look forward to your vids. Lots of LOVE to you both from John in the UK.
Thank you so much for watching! I think thats true for most kids growing up in any strict religious environment. It's important for them to know that they're not alone ❤️All the love to you!
Awesome video. My parents are old and want me to marry a girl. So I’ve come out to them but they won’t accept me, ever. I liked your story because you talk about it as an ongoing thing which is what it will be for me.
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔Just know that you are loved and you are not alone. The story is on going and sometimes the best things take time. Stay strong and stay hopeful ❤️
Watched Matt's video too!! Love both of your stories! Coming from very religious backgrounds just adds a whole extra layer in the coming out process in an already sometimes volatile environment. I have a very similar story, only I came out later at 38 and had married a woman and had 3 children by this time. I couldn't handle the pressure of knowing I was 100% gay. I did what was "expected" of me from my family and my religious community and in the process affected the lives of my 3 beautiful children and now ex wife. It was some very dark days! But thanks for sharing your story. It's so encouraging to hear others tell their story and so important for younger people who don't have any other outlet! Peace and love to you and Matt!
Blessings to you Omar, by sharing your story you can inspire others to live their truth and be themselves. Coming out is never easy and it always has consequences but for those of us who choose to take that road, no matter how hard the journey, in the end it is worth it. 🙏😘
What about your father, brothers and sisters and cousins ? How did they took it that you are gay ? I’m in a similar situation as you and I’m so afraid to lose everyone if I come out 😢
I'm a muslim and I am a bisexual. I figured my own sexuality during my college years. Now I'm 31 years old. Both my parents are aware of my sexuality when I was 19 years old. It's hard for my parents at first but through time, years, both my parents accepted me as who I am. Tbh at first it was so difficult for me. :')
@@farahibrahim9309 and that’s your opinion. Keep that to yourself. Personally, I’m happy they’re happy and they’re accepted and supported. What are you so pressed about? I don’t believe it’s haram for two consenting people to love each other. :)
@@totallyapng7315 Why do Muslims keep lying about how Islam is this beautiful religion for gay people it's not. It's a homophobic religion that kills gay men and women in multiple Islamic countries. We all know how Muslims feel about it. I dare you to go to mecca( Saudi Arabia) and bring a pride flag or got to any masjid and bring a pride flag and tell us how loving " Islam is of gay people" because its not
Hey! Sooooooo, i kinda need some help. I'm also muslim, but asexual. I feel so out of place and i REALLY don't wanna get married, but its like being forced on me (arranged marriage shit and all). My parents are not supportive at all and they would literally kill me if i ever said anything close to "gay" or "homosexual". It just really sucks because i feel like its none of their buisness and all, but i also don't wanna let down allah. What do recommend i do?
Your parents are toxic and if u don’t wanna get married then you shouldn’t marry. It’s ur life and ur parents don’t have the right to mess with ur life. Maybe once ur older and have a job and are able to live on ur own, u can leave that toxic household.
@cometestify because they're seen as a fetish to straight men. While they don't treat gay men like that, cuz they're scared that they're going to be sexualised and treated the same way they treat women.
I don't think comparing would be a helpful statement to make because he's still a poc so we need to respect where everyone is coming from because in brown households it's very bad too and we're oppressed too but if I made a wrong statement my bad just wanted to let this out
Thanks for sharing. You’re such a good story teller. Talk to us about your dad, brother, sister, grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins, friends of the family, etc ... in another posting ; )
You said that you are female in a wrong body...But bro this term is used in "transgender" definition Being gay is a sexual orientation or sexual attraction and it has no concern with gender I'm also a female trapped in a Man's body but i don't ever consider myself as a gay... Btw Much Love ❤
He clearly said, that he once thought that he was a female in a male's body, because he only had female friends, and played with barbie dolls and so on.. This doesn't mean that he's lying to himself or others about his sexuality, just because he later found out that he was gay. You really don't have to put people in boxes :))
@@sharithnagendran4074 Okay...I agree with you ❤ I'm really not putting someone in the boxes even i don't have a right to do this I'm just describing what i understood and you clarify those words to me So actually i'm really thankful to you Much love ❤
When I was 12-13 and started having attraction to men, I didn't know the concept of "being gay". I didn't know a man could romantically love another man. So if I was being attracted to men and in all my life I learned that women are attracted to men, then my conclusion at the time was that I too was a woman. Then I read a lot online and after a few months I understood that a man can love another man, and that makes him a homosexual, which is my case.
OMG ! I appreciate you for how brave you are. If I were you I wouldn’t have had the courage to do soo. I know what’s it like in a Muslim family. It’s something really different. You’re AMAZING,OMAR ! ♥️
Matt and Omar; Just viewed both your c.o. vids and I am overwhelmed by your courage and intelligence;But how did you meet each other; Guess I will continue viewing. I am adult man in New York City and can only relate because there are many many gays of all ages in the city and many are friends so I pass on encouragement. You are are not alone. Both your parent must expand their minds to avoid losing their children eventually; you will become much more important to them as time passes and that is all for the better. Edward
I'm asexual and also a Muslim and I didn't tell my parents cuz I know they will never accept me I decided to tell them when I turn 18 and I will get a scholarship to Canada and live a independ life and I will tell my parents then btw I'm now 16 and can wait to live freely😊
Shukriya bohot bohot Omar... this was so organic. Havent come out to my Pakistani Muslim parents yet and I can relate to the majority of thr scenarios you talked about. That looooong conversation you had with your mother and brother, for example. I can see so many things coming and I still dont know when, where and how to start. Its hard... thanks for this video🤗.
even though its 00:19am in the uk, everyone in my house is asleep (if I get caught my parents will probably kill me lmao) and I have school tomorrow I still watched this and it was a good decision 😂💗🦕🌈
There's no place in Islam for homosexuality. You are either Muslim or a practicing homosexual. But Islam is all about peace and respect towards people of all faith and beliefs. So we do respect your choices. But nothing till the end of time will ever change Islam's perspective toward homosexuality. No quote from the quran or prophet muhammads saying can be molded to support lgbtq..never!
First of all salam from Pakistan, Omar, i m a straight man and watched your video and came to realize that how brave you're. Its not very easy being raised in such conservative community but you took stand for yourself may be its a sin in the religion but love doesn't see any gender sometimes u even fallen love with animals so its quite natural and obviously not ur fault and u didn't had the option to choose Be yourself stop caring what others think I know my comment can face criticism but i really dont care Lots of love.
i relate to you a lot, I'm currently 16 and I'm a trans ftm and gay. My parents are really religious and I still live with them. But like you said you had a double life, i do too. One at school, and one at home. At school people know me as Léo but at home im [deadname] but this helped me a lot! Thank you
I was born in the US, but I’m also Pakistani. My parents are very strict, and strictly frown upon on being Trans or Gay. I really wish I had a better family to come out with, because I am both gender-queer, and omnisexual. I’m not sure how I’m going to come out to my family, but I hope that in a few years I’ll be able to do it
@@00l80 I think I was about 9? I saw a documentary on a transgender person, and then slowly found out more about LGBT And then in about 5th grade I started realising that I liked girls, and it kinda accelerated
Omg same my whole life I thoughtl "I think will God was creating me He put a female person in a males body " But I'm not trans j my kid head that is what I thought why I liked guys
Thanks for sharing and Congratulations hansome! Your mom continues to experiencie the freedoms she would never have known back in the old country, and she knows it too. So, you are both experiencing the freedoms to be the best person that you can be. Happy Gay Pride. Take pride and thanks in knowing your dad brought the family and the future you to the land of unlimited opportunity.
Love u dear i come from a muslim family (india) too n listening to your whole story was like a journey. i love u guys . I feel like being a nice person is the most important thing.n u r one .lots of love from this lil sis.
He isn't Muslim he left that fictitious religion, and what do you mean by Muslim and gay there are millions of gays among Muslims they are just inside the closest, being gay isn't a choice it's natural and scientifically proven but Alas!! Muslims believe in man fiction rather than present evidence. That's why developed Western nations support them. but Muslims are busy trying to deny the fact that a certain amount of people born that way. and Muslim nations to have millions of gays but they are inside the closet.
@@noorawilhelm2877 oh its fine dear. At first i thought i have done something wrong then i went through my comment 5 times n couldn't find any so i was confused n so i replied back.
I'm scared to come out to my parents I'm gay and they have made real clear they hate it. I honestly tried to shut down my feelings for them as I knew I needed to wait till I'm am a adult or they will kick me out straight away
Hi! because you're still young the best thing to do for your safety is to not come out yet. I know it's hard, i'm going through it as well, but you need to wait until you're in a safe environment so when you do have the chance to come out, you won't be physically hurt. Just remember that being gay is completely fine and normal and it's part of who yous re. If your parents don't accept you, try not to take it too hard because by that time you'll have people around you that'll support you. hold on kid, you're going to be just fine.
It's people like you that make life interestingly delicious... I love the fact you weren't afraid to be just be yourself !!!! That is the truest definition of being brave 👍⭐️😎
Honestly being born a Muslim is a privilege which you will regret and then it will be too late. Being gay or bi is not allowed in any religion, I can understand you can have feelings for the same sex but acting upon those feelings rather than ignoring them is what your test is all about. I am not saying it’s easy, allah tests us all in different ways . But leaving Islam is the worse thing you can do. I honestly feel bad for your soul , really do! May Allah guide you .
Actually, there are quite a few religions that allow gay marriage and hence gay love. For example, the US Episcopal church. Also instead of greaving for his soul and the love that he has found you should greave for yours and the god who's narrow view murders, such love.
Oh please speak for other religions. Hinduism accepts the LGBTQ community. In fact we believe transgenders have divine attributes and are connected directly to God.
Well, I think your coming out story worked out a little better for you than it worked out for Matt. Your mother sounds to be more accepting then his parents are.
me being a Muslim and a lesbian, i'm proud of you but from an Islamic perspective this life we live is a test... we should sacrifice our desires for god if you have deep faith.... this life is supposed to be unenjoyable in terms of sexuality, work, discrimination, the desire to drink/consume intoxicants ... but nonetheless if religion is not a priority for you i pray for you, i'm in the same situation, i'm British, i'm a lesbian, i'm Muslim and also pakistani. I ran out of Islam because of my sexuality and it did not do me any justice, during high school and yes i'm still a lesbian and as with everyone else nobody can't change that, but i love my Islam and try my best not to commit in homosexual acts (and also being a homosexual isn't entirely haram but committing in the sexual acts are) i really respect your mother being open-minded shows unconditional love :) but the point i'm saying is that religion does really hit you eventually as it has done with me.... and i'm just worried for my gay muslim brothers and sisters (i know many gays muslims in real life aswell)
J I agree with you and I’m also in the same boat (gay, Muslim and Pakistani) I’ve been trying to do the same as you, but the idea of never being able to share my life with someone and not having kids etc it just seems unfair to me. I want to be able to experience those feelings but at the same time I know how much hurt it would bring to my family so I won’t get with anyone. But I’m worried that one day if I meet someone I love and who loves me I don’t know how I could walk away from that but I know I need to for my family’s sake.
@@myrsoup I don't really know i'm sorry because the Quran only references homosexual acts like in the story of Prophet Lut and it calls homosexuality a transgressing.
@@myrsoup okay here's the thing, the main aspect to a relationship is sex, without it it wouldn't feel fulfilled, because the feelings and release of dopamine would lead to pleasurable sex with someone you are in love regardless if man to man/ female to female... it would be disliked if there was a non-sexual gay relationship as Islam see's that half of a persons faith is accomplished if they are married and have children... and tell me ...has there every been any relationship where there hasn't been kissing/sex involved? Because if someone assumes that they won't have sex in a gay relationship, there's a chance where it will happen, because it's hard to control homosexuality even with faith in heart, hence why even being in a relationship isn't advisable
@@blue_3742 i getcha.... it's pretty shitty, because i wish i had children and had a family as well but my sexuality makes it hard to be attracted to guys... and as same for me, i would honestly advice you to prioritize your parents and family, still have feelings for guys but don't ever Come-out to people and keep your feelings concealed, Allah swt will reward for your efforts insha'allah, this society we live in a the hardest test... some Muslims have alcohol addictions, some drug, some commit adultery, but indeed Allah SWT is the ever so forgiving, don't lose hope and stick to your dean
To every one saying it’s a choice I say Allah made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve to be together for a reason so now you chill!!! Every one has an opinion and if you don’t agree with mine you can simply keep scrolling!!
There is no place for homosexuality in islam. Please read the history and the books to clear ur confusion....its ur choice what u wanna do with ur life but dont call urself a muslim if u have chosen an exact opposite lifestyle. You are responsible for ur own actions only in front of God but if u lead others to the same direction, God will hold u accountable for them too. We will all leave this world eventually, but this content will live forever..... 😢
You will not understand what other people are going through, being gay is no body's choice, everyone is not born straight, if you can not support at least you should understand what other human being is going through. thanks
Flozyy Flozyy i totally understand what he is going through. But he should also understand what is haram and what is halal. Its okay if he is gay, he couldn’t help it. But he also cant live a open life like this.
Brother you are sxey handsome looking with beautiful hair your story is so beautiful god is there with you and he loves you my story is like you have faith My friend you will be okay thank for your story My prayers to you and your family you are special and love My friend .💞💙💞☀💙☀🌈☀
No you’re not Muslim Muslims aren’t gay Muslims do not do same sex marriage and that stuff. Muslims marry the opposite gender from them so don’t say you Muslim as be any other religion but Muslim
Okay, I think you know being gay isn't a choice and what if a man is gay and seeks God, who are you to judge. And Does Allah text you on Instagram that who is Muslim who isn't.
We love you all 🌈💛
I'm a little late, but I love you guys too!

I’m so happy to live in the UK,where the law protects everyone including sexuality,race,gender
Amazing! I’m curious how your siblings react? Xx
What about your father, brothers and sisters and cousins ? How did they took it that you are gay ? I’m in a similar situation as you and I’m so afraid to lose everyone if I come out 😢
I'm a muslim and I am a bisexual. I figured my own sexuality during my college years. Now I'm 31 years old. Both my parents are aware of my sexuality when I was 19 years old. It's hard for my parents at first but through time, years, both my parents accepted me as who I am. Tbh at first it was so difficult for me. :')
Mashallah such a nice story to see!!!
@@totallyapng7315 are you ok it's haram
Don't do it it's not real
@@farahibrahim9309 and that’s your opinion. Keep that to yourself. Personally, I’m happy they’re happy and they’re accepted and supported. What are you so pressed about? I don’t believe it’s haram for two consenting people to love each other. :)
@@totallyapng7315 Why do Muslims keep lying about how Islam is this beautiful religion for gay people it's not. It's a homophobic religion that kills gay men and women in multiple Islamic countries. We all know how Muslims feel about it. I dare you to go to mecca( Saudi Arabia) and bring a pride flag or got to any masjid and bring a pride flag and tell us how loving " Islam is of gay people" because its not
Your story was great I really enjoyed listening ,I smiled the entire time...can't wait to watch you guys both I bet yall so much fun
Hey! Sooooooo, i kinda need some help. I'm also muslim, but asexual. I feel so out of place and i REALLY don't wanna get married, but its like being forced on me (arranged marriage shit and all). My parents are not supportive at all and they would literally kill me if i ever said anything close to "gay" or "homosexual". It just really sucks because i feel like its none of their buisness and all, but i also don't wanna let down allah. What do recommend i do?
Your parents are toxic and if u don’t wanna get married then you shouldn’t marry. It’s ur life and ur parents don’t have the right to mess with ur life. Maybe once ur older and have a job and are able to live on ur own, u can leave that toxic household.
OMG same
Aghstafirrulah I ask allah to guide this ummah we are going back to the times of prophet lut (lot) SUBHANNALLAH
try being gay n black🥺
THIS IS A&S
Try be gay black women and Muslim
hes brown
@cometestify because they're seen as a fetish to straight men. While they don't treat gay men like that, cuz they're scared that they're going to be sexualised and treated the same way they treat women.

I don't think comparing would be a helpful statement to make because he's still a poc so we need to respect where everyone is coming from because in brown households it's very bad too and we're oppressed too but if I made a wrong statement my bad just wanted to let this out
A very sweet story from a different perspective than we usually get. So glad that you are unapologetically you.
Thanks for sharing. You’re such a good story teller. Talk to us about your dad, brother, sister, grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins, friends of the family, etc ... in another posting ; )
You said that you are female in a wrong body...But bro this term is used in "transgender" definition
Being gay is a sexual orientation or sexual attraction and it has no concern with gender
I'm also a female trapped in a Man's body but i don't ever consider myself as a gay...
Btw Much Love ❤
He clearly said, that he once thought that he was a female in a male's body, because he only had female friends, and played with barbie dolls and so on.. This doesn't mean that he's lying to himself or others about his sexuality, just because he later found out that he was gay. You really don't have to put people in boxes :))
@@sharithnagendran4074 Okay...I agree with you ❤
I'm really not putting someone in the boxes even i don't have a right to do this
I'm just describing what i understood and you clarify those words to me
So actually i'm really thankful to you
Much love ❤
When I was 12-13 and started having attraction to men, I didn't know the concept of "being gay". I didn't know a man could romantically love another man. So if I was being attracted to men and in all my life I learned that women are attracted to men, then my conclusion at the time was that I too was a woman. Then I read a lot online and after a few months I understood that a man can love another man, and that makes him a homosexual, which is my case.
Gay Muslim here! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!
OMG ! I appreciate you for how brave you are. If I were you I wouldn’t have had the courage to do soo. I know what’s it like in a Muslim family. It’s something really different. You’re AMAZING,OMAR ! ♥️
Eeeee thank you so much for supporting
Matt and Omar; Just viewed both your c.o. vids and I am overwhelmed by your courage and intelligence;But how did you meet each other; Guess I will continue viewing. I am adult man in New York City and can only relate because there are many many gays of all ages in the city and many are friends so I pass on encouragement. You are are not alone. Both your parent must expand their minds to avoid losing their children eventually; you will become much more important to them as time passes and that is all for the better. Edward
Wow you're so brave. Love to hear your coming out story,omar🐣🐣

Shukriya bohot bohot Omar... this was so organic. Havent come out to my Pakistani Muslim parents yet and I can relate to the majority of thr scenarios you talked about. That looooong conversation you had with your mother and brother, for example. I can see so many things coming and I still dont know when, where and how to start. Its hard... thanks for this video🤗.
even though its 00:19am in the uk, everyone in my house is asleep (if I get caught my parents will probably kill me lmao) and I have school tomorrow I still watched this and it was a good decision 😂💗🦕🌈

Same I'm a muslim and a lesbian but i haven't come out yet because my country and environment is so dangerous for lgbtq people

If its dangerous move out?
If your a gay Muslim clap your hands (clap clap!)
Sexual orientation is not a choice so we should all accept who we are and love each other.
Can I please ask something off topic? Which camera r u using? Colors look amazing.
You are super brave, thank you so much for sharing your story
Thank you so much for your support you angels 💕
@@MattAndOmar
There's no place in Islam for homosexuality.
You are either Muslim or a practicing homosexual.
But Islam is all about peace and respect towards people of all faith and beliefs. So we do respect your choices. But nothing till the end of time will ever change Islam's perspective toward homosexuality.
No quote from the quran or prophet muhammads saying can be molded to support lgbtq..never!
Ok
Not the essay
Anyways
Im gay and i slay
And
Dont really care what u say about my beliefs
First of all salam from Pakistan, Omar, i m a straight man and watched your video and came to realize that how brave you're.
Its not very easy being raised in such conservative community but you took stand for yourself may be its a sin in the religion but love doesn't see any gender sometimes u even fallen love with animals so its quite natural and obviously not ur fault and u didn't had the option to choose
Be yourself stop caring what others think
I know my comment can face criticism but i really dont care
Lots of love.
i relate to you a lot, I'm currently 16 and I'm a trans ftm and gay. My parents are really religious and I still live with them. But like you said you had a double life, i do too. One at school, and one at home. At school people know me as Léo but at home im [deadname] but this helped me a lot! Thank you
Gay and Muslim don’t go in the same sentence you are truly lost.
I was born in the US, but I’m also Pakistani. My parents are very strict, and strictly frown upon on being Trans or Gay. I really wish I had a better family to come out with, because I am both gender-queer, and omnisexual. I’m not sure how I’m going to come out to my family, but I hope that in a few years I’ll be able to do it
I have a question.
@@00l80 go for it
@@rayn724 where did u first heard about lgbt?
@@00l80 I think I was about 9? I saw a documentary on a transgender person, and then slowly found out more about LGBT
And then in about 5th grade I started realising that I liked girls, and it kinda accelerated
Are you close with your siblings?
Yes! I have 3 brothers and we're all very close, we talk all the time :)
Good! I’m glad you have your brothers to support you and be there for you. 😊
Omg same my whole life I thoughtl
"I think will God was creating me He put a female person in a males body "
But I'm not trans j my kid head that is what I thought why I liked guys

He isn't Muslim he left that fictitious religion, and what do you mean by Muslim and gay there are millions of gays among Muslims they are just inside the closest, being gay isn't a choice it's natural and scientifically proven but Alas!! Muslims believe in man fiction rather than present evidence. That's why developed Western nations support them. but Muslims are busy trying to deny the fact that a certain amount of people born that way. and Muslim nations to have millions of gays but they are inside the closet.

What’s your relationship like with your siblings?
Were did you and Matt met.
He said he met him in Belin
currently living that double life you're talking about. 18 years old and last year of highschool and it doesn't seem to be going well...
Much love to you Omar!
I'm scared to come out to my parents I'm gay and they have made real clear they hate it. I honestly tried to shut down my feelings for them as I knew I needed to wait till I'm am a adult or they will kick me out straight away
I am 14 this is my greatest fear. I just want to be love. And get it if it is not to ur belief or is it natural or not. Its just I can't help it.
Hi! because you're still young the best thing to do for your safety is to not come out yet. I know it's hard, i'm going through it as well, but you need to wait until you're in a safe environment so when you do have the chance to come out, you won't be physically hurt. Just remember that being gay is completely fine and normal and it's part of who yous re. If your parents don't accept you, try not to take it too hard because by that time you'll have people around you that'll support you.
hold on kid, you're going to be just fine.
It's people like you that make life interestingly delicious... I love the fact you weren't afraid to be just be yourself !!!! That is the truest definition of being brave 👍⭐️😎
If you were there in UK then why did you transit to Toronto???
Moved here a year ago after I met Matt in Berlin! We decided that Toronto would be a good place to start the next chapter of our lives
That's great
Thank you for sharing!
Very brave Omar. You are such an inspiration :)
Great spirit. Great self esteem.
Thanks for sharing & being so open! 🌈 love from Germany
Thank you so much for watching and for your support ❤️
Honestly being born a Muslim is a privilege which you will regret and then it will be too late. Being gay or bi is not allowed in any religion, I can understand you can have feelings for the same sex but acting upon those feelings rather than ignoring them is what your test is all about. I am not saying it’s easy, allah tests us all in different ways . But leaving Islam is the worse thing you can do. I honestly feel bad for your soul , really do! May Allah guide you .
Actually, there are quite a few religions that allow gay marriage and hence gay love. For example, the US Episcopal church. Also instead of greaving for his soul and the love that he has found you should greave for yours and the god who's narrow view murders, such love.
Oh please speak for other religions. Hinduism accepts the LGBTQ community. In fact we believe transgenders have divine attributes and are connected directly to God.
Please do some research on Hazrat LUT (AS)
Please do some research on "cognitive science of religion" an edX course or listen to this NPR podcast www.npr.org/2018/07/16/628792048/creating-god
Well, I think your coming out story worked out a little better for you than it worked out for Matt. Your mother sounds to be more accepting then his parents are.
me being a Muslim and a lesbian, i'm proud of you but from an Islamic perspective this life we live is a test... we should sacrifice our desires for god if you have deep faith.... this life is supposed to be unenjoyable in terms of sexuality, work, discrimination, the desire to drink/consume intoxicants ... but nonetheless if religion is not a priority for you i pray for you,
i'm in the same situation, i'm British, i'm a lesbian, i'm Muslim and also pakistani. I ran out of Islam because of my sexuality and it did not do me any justice, during high school and yes i'm still a lesbian and as with everyone else nobody can't change that, but i love my Islam and try my best not to commit in homosexual acts (and also being a homosexual isn't entirely haram but committing in the sexual acts are) i really respect your mother being open-minded shows unconditional love :) but the point i'm saying is that religion does really hit you eventually as it has done with me.... and i'm just worried for my gay muslim brothers and sisters (i know many gays muslims in real life aswell)
J I agree with you and I’m also in the same boat (gay, Muslim and Pakistani) I’ve been trying to do the same as you, but the idea of never being able to share my life with someone and not having kids etc it just seems unfair to me. I want to be able to experience those feelings but at the same time I know how much hurt it would bring to my family so I won’t get with anyone. But I’m worried that one day if I meet someone I love and who loves me I don’t know how I could walk away from that but I know I need to for my family’s sake.
@@myrsoup I don't really know i'm sorry because the Quran only references homosexual acts like in the story of Prophet Lut and it calls homosexuality a transgressing.
@@myrsoup okay here's the thing, the main aspect to a relationship is sex, without it it wouldn't feel fulfilled, because the feelings and release of dopamine would lead to pleasurable sex with someone you are in love regardless if man to man/ female to female... it would be disliked if there was a non-sexual gay relationship as Islam see's that half of a persons faith is accomplished if they are married and have children... and tell me ...has there every been any relationship where there hasn't been kissing/sex involved? Because if someone assumes that they won't have sex in a gay relationship, there's a chance where it will happen, because it's hard to control homosexuality even with faith in heart, hence why even being in a relationship isn't advisable
@@blue_3742 i getcha.... it's pretty shitty, because i wish i had children and had a family as well but my sexuality makes it hard to be attracted to guys... and as same for me, i would honestly advice you to prioritize your parents and family, still have feelings for guys but don't ever Come-out to people and keep your feelings concealed, Allah swt will reward for your efforts insha'allah, this society we live in a the hardest test... some Muslims have alcohol addictions, some drug, some commit adultery, but indeed Allah SWT is the ever so forgiving, don't lose hope and stick to your dean

There is no place for homosexuality in islam. Please read the history and the books to clear ur confusion....its ur choice what u wanna do with ur life but dont call urself a muslim if u have chosen an exact opposite lifestyle.

You are amazing!!!!
No you’re not Muslim
Muslims aren’t gay Muslims do not do same sex marriage and that stuff. Muslims marry the opposite gender from them so don’t say you Muslim as be any other religion but Muslim
Muslims shouldn't tell others if they are Muslims or not. You are a human and can't judge someone's religion.
Okay, I think you know being gay isn't a choice and what if a man is gay and seeks God, who are you to judge. And Does Allah text you on Instagram that who is Muslim who isn't.
