The fictional worlds behind our screens are slowly becoming better representations of the one we live in, and that means that we’re getting more and more stories that showcase the beauty, intricacy, and diversity of Islam, a faith that has been misunderstood by Hollywood since – honestly, its creation. We’re a long way away from the time when Ramy was the only Muslim show on television, but we’re also still a long way off from understanding the diverse community that makes up one of the biggest monolithic religions on the planet. There are so, so many ways to be Muslim and no one show will ever capture the entirety of that, but today more people are getting chances to show the world how they practice.Below are five of our favorite examples of queer, Muslim stories from queer, Muslim perspectives.

Hi Jake,I am a 28-year-old, professional gay man with a very specific liking for married straight men. Now, I know such guys (usually in straight relationships and on the DL) should be faithful to their significant other, I just feel it is almost a biological urge on my side to flirt with them if I think they are cute or if they show any signs of being bi-curious. I generally like the daddy-type of guys and even for porn, my preference is “married man cheating”. Should I feel guilty? Why do I have this predilection? Do I need to change?The Caped SeducerDear The Caped Seducer,I don’t think it’s healthy for anyone to have guilt around their sexual desires and predilections, as long as you are engaged in mutual affairs and are not harming anyone or breaking any laws.

Donald Trump spoke for almost two hours as he closed out the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.In his remarks, he described a country that has been destroyed since he left office and outlined the steps Republicans should take if they win back control of Congress in November.He decried the inclusion of transgender athletes on women's sports teams, and reiterated calls for drug dealers to get the death penalty and homeless people to be moved to tent cities.Trump's speech was "unapologetic fascism," Michael Hardy, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, said in a tweet."This might be most frightening speech I've ever heard," Hardy wrote, adding that it indicated that the former president's rhetoric is "significantly more extreme than even a few years ago."Here, Newsweek has rounded up some key moments from the former president's speech.Trump began his speech by declaring the U.S. "is being destroyed more from the inside than out.""America is on the edge of an abyss and our movement is the only force on earth that can save it," he said.

We sat down with the cast of the new conversion camp slasher They/Them, which is out today, with one essential question on the docket: Why do so many queer people have an affinity for horror as a genre?After all, horror has often not been kind to the queer community.Think Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, a trans woman serial killing cis women and wearing their skin.

From an early age, Monet Umana, 23, was taught to be proud of her roots and identity. Raised in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, she was surrounded by family, friends, and role models who looked like her and understood the nuances of navigating the world as a Black woman. But when she began to question her sexuality, Monet’s unapologetic pride was challenged. “All these parts of me were constantly being affirmed until I started to explore anything outside my Blackness and my womanhood,” Umana told LGBTQ Nation. A voracious reader and self-described “child of the internet,” Umana took matters into her own hands, turning to books like Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me, and social media platforms like Tumblr to find like-minded people.
