Queer Muslims have been left out of the story. Until now.
Queer Crescent recently concluded response collection on the largest survey of LGBTQI+ Muslims in the United States in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of our experiences.
As people belonging to two groups often assumed to be profoundly different or even incompatible or opposed, LGBTQI+ Muslims have been made invisible as minorities within a minority. The broad goal of this project is to intervene in this social erasure and enable this population to be visible and thus knowable and reachable.
The survey will provide not only quantitative and qualitative knowledge, but actionable paths forward for organizers, activists, healers, and researchers in their work to improve the lives of LGBQTI+ Muslims towards thriving and leading the way forward.
