Muslim Attitudes

• Islam forbids same-sex marriages and homosexual and lesbian relationships, believing that sex should only take place between a husband and wife.
• Muslims view marriage as the only place where sexual relationships should take place and regard marriage as a sacred contract between only a man and a woman.
• The Qur’anic quotation to the right is used by Muslims who view homosexuality as immoral.
• In the Qur’an, Lot is mentioned when he criticizes his people for committing immorality, including homosexuality.
• Muslims interpret the Qur’anic verses about Lot to mean that same-sex relationships are wrong.
