Being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or any other sexual orientation or gender identity is difficult enough on its own, but being Muslim as well can cause one to struggle with reconciling their identity with Islam and Allah. However, you are not alone - more and more people in the world are coming out as LGBT+, and struggle to reconcile their faith in Allah with their identity. While the journey to self-acceptance can be a long one, it's possible and well worth the effort to become happy with who you are.

Please note that this article is primarily aimed at an audience living in countries where LGBT+ identity is not outlawed. If you live in a country where being LGBT+ is illegal, not all of this may be helpful to you.
