I had to make a dabi mlp at some point..

I am muslim and lesbian, but I struggle to say it loud. Something about Hijab Butch Blues and the way Lamya H connects prophetic/quranic stories to their thoughts about identity and religion feels so right. It makes me feel overconfident. The way they apply the stories to their present life - like how we are told to - I didn't realise I could do that. Culture and misunderstanding Islamic teachings, and society in general, push these expectations on you and everything starts to feel like you don't have a place anywhere because you can't find what suits you.

The way Lamya entwined Islamic stories with their circumstances to help answer/guide their questions - It seems like common sense but it really isn't. It is really hard to live. Idk if that makes sense. It is really hard to just apply Islamic teachings to your queer life. But they do it. And I'm so grateful for them, because they've helped pave a way for me and so many other queer muslims. This is such a simple thought. It has changed my life for the better Alhamdulillah.
