Which Muslim country will become safe for LGBT first?

[epedep]

As far as I thought about it, there has been an inevitable pro-LGBT and other liberal momentum in all Islamic countries except Yemen. Even the Gulf, Sahel and Caspian countries are affected by this momentum. Now the question is, which Islamic nation will be first to become reasonably safe for LGBT people first? Exclude Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania since they're in Europe themselves.

None. Islam calls the death penalty for homosexuals.

The first one to abandon Islam.

Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq are the only Arab countries where homosexuality is legal.

None. Islam calls the death penalty for homosexuals.

Have you two heard of Bosnia and Albania?

Have you two heard of Bosnia and Albania?

Yes, and I know they're not Sharia-governed countries. Albanians are quite secular due to their Soviet past.

This one's easy, Tunisia

Albanian Muslims are mostly becoming atheists or going back to their Christian roots. Not only because of the Hoxha communist regime which prohibited religion, but Albanians remember the they were heavily oppressed during the Ottoman occupation when they were converted by force, hence Albanians hate Turks.

Albanians also identify with their ethnicity rather than religion before anything else, both Albanian Muslims and Christians believe to be the same ethnic group and share the same ethnic identity. It's a common saying amongst Albanian Muslims and Christians that the religion of Albanians is 'Albanianism'.

So for that to happen in Lebanon, Lebanese Christians and Muslims would have to share the same ethnic identity, then Lebanese Muslims might start abandoning Islam. But for now, both Lebanese Christians and Muslims believe to be different ethnic groups, the former believe to be native to the land who were heavily oppressed by Arabian Muslims while the latter proudly claim to be descendants of the violent Arabian conquerors who oppressed the former.

Off the top of my head, maybe the thousands of LGBT+ individuals facing prison or the death penalty for just being who they are.

that is a tiny consequence of a major problem of freedoms in the region. we are sick of the LGBTQ issues occupying every single space there is. when was the last person executed in the arab world for being gay? we have thousands of more important and existential issues than which d*** goes in which hole. seriously.

They’re pretty safe already as long as they don’t flaunt it. But we all know just how much gay people need to tell others around them that they’re gay....
