If we actually read the Quran, it’s clear it tries to protect the most vulnerable in society.

The first forty Surahs revealed all focus on spirituality, kindness, wealth redistribution, and taking care of the most vulnerable like orphans.

Clearly, Islam works to protect marriages by prohibiting cheating - zina.

It also condemned the people of Lut for leaving their wives to r-ape foreigners.

But one thing it focused on was the children who might become worse off if their parents are not married.

Perhaps their dad might not take care of them and provide leaving the mother in a destitute situation.

Considering how misgynistic Arabia was, it makes sense why Islam gave explicit rights.

The power dynamic between two people of the same gender is not the same as the power dynamic between a cis man and cis woman.

Plus this relationship MAKES BABIES! WHO will suffer at the hand of their parents ill choices.

That said, I find that Muslim societies have a heavy witch hunting culture for queer people.

I find this especially true for Arabs, particular those who immigrate to Europe.

If sexuality is only regulated in terms of crime in Islam, that’s where you need four witnesses to be prosecuted, why are so many Muslims obsessed with figuring out who’s gay and who’s not?

Why are their private lives being forcefully looked into and policed? If anything, straight Muslims who have gfs/bfs might be seen with hesitation, but still are not ostracized or literally takfired.

Personally, it seems like straight Muslims who support this are just finding new ways to take the attention off of them and their regulations and trying to impose them onto queer people.

Being queer is such a non issue in the Quran, or Islam, but oppressive misogynistic Muslims/Muslim clerics seem to have a great time with it.
