Okay definitely thinking of the wrong author because someone did it >~< my bad, thanks for correcting me
Are Muslims not supposed to celebrate Halloween? o.o
because everyone used to dress up for it here but weāre kind of an āinternationalā community
We donāt celebrate commercialized holidays.
Some Muslim kids might do Not a lot do but still but thatās an exception. Theyāre kids.
Ohhh I see.
It could be because weāre an international school then? I used to go trick-or-treating with my friends and some of them would decorate their house for Halloween. Thanks for letting me know though, I couldāve made that mistake with a character.
Itās definitely not ideal for sure. Although I feel like respecting the community is a lot closer to accepting trans and intersex people and embracing them in our way of life than a lot of other countries
To be fair, as far as I know, Nation of Islam has quite a few more rules than other denominations of Islam. Maybe the Halloween is one of them?
I don't want to be off topic
Maybe but I have never really seen other Muslims celebrate Halloween outside of my denomination. Some have like I said but not a large amount. And Iām pretty sure because of itās origin, Muslims from other denominations wonāt really partake. We really just celebrate Islamic holidays.
Oh ho boy yāall the second I have time and consistent service yāall better fear the essay and all the resources on gender Iām gonna give
I think it depends personally! Like most of the Muslims around me celebrate Halloween. They, like most people tbh, donāt really see it as a religious holiday. Itās not really! Not anymore. So it just becomes a fun day like April Fools
Oh boy. Once I have time, prepare for a lesson on the LGBTQ+ community and people of color. Prepare.
Breath bated
Awesome! Are you part of the LGBTQ+ community?
Yes, heāsā umm, well I donāt exactly know whether to share it or not. But he is a part of it.
Also, I know I added the pronouns (which I hope is a good idea), but if anyone has any more ways I can make the forums more LGBTQ friendly, Iād love to hear them! Iām bi, but I suffer from whatās known as ācompulsory heterosexualityā and I donāt know as much about trans issues as Iād like, so Iām always willing to learn!
Yep! Iām trans, bi/pan romantic, and probably ace? Still not sure on that one
A massive thing was accidentally deleted so time to remake that in a google doc, itās not the thing above as that originally was the thing when I accidentally posted it but I then edited it to say oof after copying it
Edit: wAIT NO GOT THE ORIGINAL BACK
Do you want me to revert it to the original?
Summary
Yup, same here. I guess it depends on their individual beliefs because they even celebrate Christmas here, not as a Christian holiday but as a time for family and the christmas-y stuff but our school banned us from doing so in school?
Oh whoops off topicā¦ But yeah, Iām pretty sure Iāve said this but Iād like to see some LGBTQ+ characters who are associated with a religion >~<
Iād like to see more stories about aces. Can you recommend some for me, please?
