伊斯兰教中有没有与“同性恋”相对应的概念？

Does Islam have a concept for “being gay”?

在伊斯兰传统中，并没有与“同性恋者”这一概念相对应的术语，即指那种对同性持有稳定且排他的情欲吸引、而对异性不产生此类吸引的人。也没有“异性恋者”这一术语。伊斯兰学者曾使用一些术语来描述实施了“鲁特之民”之行为的人。然而，这并不是西方人使用“homosexual”一词时所指的含义。在西方语境中，“gay”（同性恋者）是指身份由其对同性的吸引所界定的人。根据现代西方的观念，一个人的重要且不可改变的特征是他的“性取向”。正如人们普遍认为一个人可以生来具有某种肤色，从而属于某个种族一样，一个人也可以生来具有某种性取向，从而归属于某个性身份群体，例如“gay”、“straight”、“bi”等。

In the Islamic tradition, there is no analogous term for the concept of “homosexual,” i.e., the notion of a person who experiences stable and exclusive erotic attraction to the same sex while not feeling such attractions towards the opposite sex. There is also no term for “heterosexual.” Islamic scholars have employed terms to describe a person who committed the action of Qawm Lut. However, this is not what Westerners mean when they use the word “homosexual.” In the Western context, a “gay” person is one whose identity is defined by his attraction to the same sex. According to modern Western conceptions, an important and immutable characteristic of a person is his “sexual orientation.” Similar to popular notions of how a person can be born with a certain color of skin and, thus, belong to a certain race, a person can be born with a certain sexual orientation and, thus, belong to a sexual identity group, e.g., “gay,” “straight,” “bi,” etc.
