Queer Muslims

This is a page for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered Muslims, and for allies. I intend to put up a list of frequently-asked questions, compiled with the help of Gay Muslims mailing list members. In the meantime, here are all of the resources that I know of. Because of my background and work, I know more about resources for Arabs and transgendered people, but I will be adding information to be more inclusive. Please email me if you have any additional suggestions.

The Safra Project is a resource project working on issues relating to lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender women who identify as Muslim religiously and/or culturally (Muslim LBT women). The Safra Project was set up in October 2001 by and for Muslim LBT women. The issues faced by Muslim LBT women, and the (combination of) prejudices based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, religion, race, culture and immigration status that they experience, are unique and currently insufficiently addressed.

The word Safra is related to the words for 'journey' and discovery' in many languages such as Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. The compass in our logo and on our home page symbolises the aim of the Safra Project to be a resource and tool for Muslim LBT women on our journeys and discoveries in life. The Safra Project does not seek to provide ultimate answers or solutions, and is not a faith group. Our ethos is one of inclusiveness and diversity.

Pagans

Welcome to Rainbow Wind

 

Rainbow Wind is a group for Lesbigay Pagans and their friends. It was formed in the summer of 1995 as a response to three needs: 1) the need of Pagans to develop a greater sense of connectedness with the Pagans community, 2) the need to define the frequently undefined role of Lesbigays and trangendered people in Paganism, and 3) the need to respond to the wave of attacks on Lesbigays, TGs, and Pagans by the radical Christian fundamentalists who have gained great influence over both the Republican and Democrat parties.

Who We Are
 

SATUURDAY is an organization dedicated to making communities safer for gay/ lesbian/bisexual/transgendered youth and their allies. Created by the Metro District Youth Adult Committee, SATUURDAY's original concept was as a continental youth empowerment conference designed for YRUUers and representatives from GLBT youth organizations. For those not acquainted with YRUU it stands for Young Religious Unitarian Universalist. To find out more about YRUU and Unitarian Universalism visit the UUA web page.

For two years the committee struggled to make this conference happen. Finally in July of 98' in Princeton, NJ we had an amazing, inspiring and just rock'in conference. It wasn't perfect, but it was just beautiful. We created a warm , welcoming and safe community, where the divisions dissolved. Because there were no boundaries of a defined sexuality, we were able to honestly discuss the issues at hand with out being condescending or belittling the "other side".   

We are now working on the second annual SATUURDAY conference. The conference will be held July 12-16, 2000 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego in San Diego, California. More information to come.
