This is not correct. Muslims absolutely do not hate gays and transgender people.
Islamist: an advocate or supporter of Islamic militancy or fundamentalism (Islamism)
Muslim: a follower of the religion of Islam

@Geemme has a great video that explains why it’s not just Islamists that have issues with the LGBT community, but Muslims in general.#NotAll of course. Many Muslims are gay themselves or allies...but they are in the minority.1 reply 1 retweet 10 likes -

52% of British Muslims polled said homosexuality should be criminalised & 47% said gays shouldn't be allowed to be teachers. Its not true that the 52% and 47% are 'hard lined Islamists'. These are normal muslims who follow hadith and Quran that state gays should be killed.

https://twitter.com/Geemme/status/1041444524210483201 … This video/Poem explains why. We have a huge problem with homophobia in the Muslim community in the west and in muslim majority countries it is even worse.

Lets not demonise Muslims, that isn't helpful but lets acknowledge that they are the most homophobic community in the UK and perhaps globally. Only by referencing the data and then measuring for change will we be able to help Gays of Muslim heritage and trans community.

Thank you, Jimmy. Can you post the excerpt of your talk Out, Loud, and Proud where you explained this so well?
