Being Moro and LGBT
The life of a gay Moro is difficult. The eyes of our family and society are all on us. And the eyes of Islam, the religion of our upbringing, judge us heavily. In their interpretation of Islam, we are "haram": our feelings are dirty and forbidden. Gay Moros and their inner selves have no place in the "ummah", the community of Muslims, because in this society, there are only two genders in the eyes of God. And so we are forced to pretend and hide from their cruel eyes.
