Does Islam deny equality by prohibiting same-sex sexual behavior but allowing opposite-sex sexual behavior? Many Western Muslims, young and old, seem to believe this. And they argue that this is why Islamic law needs to be reformed —so that this clear discrimination can be eliminated. But is there really any discrimination going on? Is Islam oppressing people? The short answer is no: Islam is not systematically oppressing people by prohibiting certain sexual behaviors. In actuality, LGBT normalization is oppressing people by making them believe and feel that they need to engage in self-destructive same-sex behaviors in order to be sexually fulfilled.
