It’s funny, it is “the future” for them. Like it was a photoshoot or something of things to come. When in reality it was just a normal weekday in the likes of New York or London.
Whoever made this meme almost certainly doesn't live in the city so for them, it is a potential future if these ideals spread to rural areas of the country. Most of these rural people never leave their town, let alone state. And now they have the internet to broadcast their bigotry to the world. 30 years ago they would have never even known people like those in that picture existed.
I've heard it said that the country is 20-30 years behind the city. Like how opiods became a thing about that amount of time after the crack epidemic. So fuck them, they're getting Muslims, drag queens, and Muslim drag queens.
As a trans person who was raised muslim, and around lots of muslims, I've personally experienced acceptance from most of the muslims I know, and all the ones ive met at University.
Also, just the types of things I hear about LGBT people from muslims are generally more positive and accepting than when I was growing up.
in islam being trans is out of ur control so everyone is like okay it was just a biological mistake and they move on...but they refuse the lgbt part because they believe that we were born out of adam and eve...that's how marriage/relationship should be not the same 2 genders which is like incompatible in sex or giving birth u know what i mean? i think this is also the same point of view from Christians as well
Yes that is how the texts are usually interpreted. However most people don't actually get their viewpoints from what old books say. Their view about these things comes more from their their experience and surroundings. That is what's being changing especially with younger Muslim people.
