For Eid, the end of Ramadan, all LGBTQ Muslims want is acceptance, acknowledgement

When Hamzeh Daoud tells most Muslims they're fasting for Ramadan – but not abiding by the religion's daily five prayers – they're met with a range of reactions, but one stings the worst: "You're not a real Muslim."

But Daoud is a real Muslim.

There's a stereotype of what being Muslim looks like in certain communities that usually involves wearing a hijab, praying daily, fasting during Ramadan and being cisgender and straight. When Muslims fall outside these boundaries, criticism is not uncommon, especially for an LGBTQ member of the community.
