Canadian gay Muslim student speaks out after Western University LGBTQ poster furore
«The Muslim community won't accept me as openly gay».
Western University and London’s (Canada) Muslim community must support that simple statement in more than words to start the healing after a social media post celebrating diversity was removed, says a gay Western University student raised a Muslim, lfpress.com reports.
«The Muslim community won’t accept me as openly gay. They’ll say they’ll accept me because they don’t want any repercussions. But I am shunned from the community», he said to lfpress.com
The student says he’s been invited to and will join a meeting being planned between Western University’s diversity leader and the London Council of Imams to deal with the controversy.
