queer: to be broken by (non-normative) desire in a way that lends itself to imagining worlds, liberations, justices anew.
i wrote a new piece! :)
Anonymous asked: What did you say? Heterosexuality is haram? Wtf. Hope it's joke or something
- Noah’s wife was straight. Lot’s wife was straight. Pharaoh was straight. Literally every person who is punished ~by name~ in the Taurat, Injeel AND Qur’an were heterosexual. Coincidence?
- If Adam’s judgement wasn’t clouded by his heterosexuality we wouldn’t be in this worldly mess in the first place. IF Adam was gay like a normal person we never would have been kicked out of the garden.
- “Straight”/”Hetrosexual” are modern sociological constructs. Heterosexuality is bidah.
- If heterosexuality is permissible then why are there gendered barriers in the masjid? Why are men allowed to expose their navels so wantonly amongst their brothers, but not amongst women?? HMMM?
The only straightness for true Muslims is as-sirat al-mustaqim. It’s so obvious I don’t know how you can’t see it. Heterosexuality is haraam. Obviously.
khayali-pulao asked: Hello, I was wondering if it's alright if I quote three paragraphs of your Salon article on my tumblr with links to both the article and your tumblr page. My blog is personal and only about 6 of my friends follow me, but I just wanted to make sure if it's OK with you because I realized recently that some writers and media outlets I follow explicitly ask not to post more than one paragraph of content. I'm sorry if this is a silly question, I'm still fairly new to tumblr and cross-posting debates.
Absolutely! Feel free to post. Thanks for reading!
