so many people arent ready for this one. . .
the thing about the R slur is i do think its technically reclaimable- if youre a person with an intelectual disability, disagnosed learning difficulty, downs syndrome, or anything else that wouldve been historically categorized under that label and you want to say "fuck it, i am that label, i'm gonna own it" then like. fine, thats your prerogative. you'll probably get some weird looks but i don't think anybody can police what you call yourself. the problem is literally every instance ive seen of someone 'reclaiming' the R slur has been using it to insult someone else and then pulling the "im allowed to say it because i'm neurospicy" card and like. thats not how this works. thats not how any of this works.
i have moments where i go "oh no i'm not sure if i can reconcile this islamic belief/practice, i guess i'll just ignore this for now?" and then someone will tell me the shia perspective and i'm like OH i just don't like the "mainstream" opinion lol. i rly wish some sunnis would quit pretending sunni islam is the only islam tbh
What the Bible says about homosexuality: (nothing)
What the Qur'an says about homosexuality: (nothing)
The only verses that are twisted to discuss homosexuality are entirely mistranslated and/or misinterpreted by both sets of people who follow them.
Instead, what both scriptures tell us is a story of a Prophet of God, Lut (AS), who told a city to follow the path God has laid out for all of us.
But the city of Sodom not only ignored him, but they decided to present and reinforce their power and status through terror and r-pe, a story that is not at all unbelievable as we watch people go into political power with shocking histories of sexual 'transgressions' alongside a hideous contempt for the very fabric of humanity in many cases.
The moral of the story of Lut (AS) is this:
Extend hospitality, generosity, and protection to others
Don't be greedy, stingy, or thieving
Protect vulnerable people
Do not lust over power
Have mutual respect and love for each other
Condemn fucking r-pe (didn't think we had to write that one down, but here we are)
Don't be a dick.
Follow God
