  • Hi humans! Omar here. Today we're taking things in a little different direction from our normal videos. Both Matt and I are going to be sharing our coming out stories with you this week & next. Growing up in a strict Muslim household and coming to terms with my sexuality is something that I know so many of you have dealt with or are currently dealing with. I hope that my story can give you some hope & inspiration, where you might see none ❤
    xoxo, Omar

    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.

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.

    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!

    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.

      @HumbleMicheal以仁慈 4 года назад +7

      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!

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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 .
