The first ever gay Muslim wedding has taken place in the United Kingdom.
Twenty-four-year-old Jahed
Choudhury and 19-year-old
Sean Rogan tied the knot in Walsall registry office
in traditional Muslim attire.
The pair, who’ve been together
for two years, first met when Choudhury was crying on a bench in Darlaston.
He told Express and Star:
“I’d not long overdosed and I was crying on a bench and Sean came over and
asked if I was okay.”
Adding that Sean gave him hope at
his lowest point and has stood by him ever since.
Choudhury said that being an
openly-gay Muslim made him feel like something of a ‘black sheep’ and that he
‘stood out like a sore thumb’ and often felt trapped between his sexuality and
faith.
He tried to deny his orientation
and even tried taking medication and a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia and
Bangladesh.
Although his family were’t
present for the ceremony, Choudhury believes the wedding is significant
progress for the Muslim and LGBT communities alike.
He added: “My family doesn’t want
to come on the day, they just don’t want to see it, it’s too embarrassing for
them.”
Choudhury says that some of his
family members dismiss his sexuality and happy relationship with Sean as a
‘disease’ or a phase.
He added: “I want to say to all
people going through the same thing that’s it’s okay – we’re going to show the
whole world that you can be gay and Muslim.”

DeleteWhat are you saying?
Being not a Muslim doesn't mean it is Christianity. He only said Islam forbids gay marriage. Please, let's accept good in order to receive the best in life.
DeleteThis is not Islamic and moreover their attire is nothing near Islam it's India Hindu attire

Are we fighting for our religion here or are we calling sin by it's name and condemn it? Almighty God forbids gay, it is abomination before God and bible says No abominable will enter the kingdom of God. Whether Christian kingdom or Muslim paradise

ReplyDeleteDespicable!!! Jahannam to both of them
ReplyDeleteReligious mugus,sometime it will turn to fight because you read news....are we supposed to discriminate? Or to tell that gay is never a good thing to hear about or talk of.
ReplyDeleteThe gay man is a Muslim whether you agree or not. He even went to pilgrimage in Mecca. He may not be a good Muslim , but Muslim anyhow!
