Today, I have a one day workshop on LGBT. Two speakers were invited, one teaching on the subject at uni and the other one is in the field himself.
L - Lesbian
G - Gay
B - Bisexual
T - Transgender
I rarely took part in knowing more about this group before, only get the surface information on who are they like.
And, surviving a day workshop on this, my eyes opened big and wide realising the ugly and heartbreaking truth in our community.
Theres a lot more to be done and many more dakwah methods to be explored. Among the things that i can share;
- We have to treat the root cause of them being LGBT
- One people having this issue cannot be generalised, because their reasons differed and has to be handled gently and in-person
- Identifying the patterns at a young age
- Avoid judging instead give support and help
This is not a branch issue, it is a big one 😞
Few of the reasons i could mention;
- Rooted from family problem, less affection
- Friends' influence
- Financial problem
- Sexual abuse
I benefited a lot from today's discussion and realised many more jobs awaiting the dua't.
May Allah helps us.
