Notes from the
co-chairs
In the name of God, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful
Dear sisters, brothers, friends,
and allies,
Welcome to the 2013 Retreat
for LGBTQ Muslims and Allies!
This year, our retreat builds on
two successful gatherings in
2011 and 2012.
Thanks to the efforts of the
dedicated group of individuals
who make up this years
planning team, we are looking
forward to a weekend full of
learning about our history, our
community, and ourselves. In
addition to a variety of
workshops and two plenary
sessions, we will have
opportunities to gather in
small kinship groups and
identity-based caucuses.
The retreat also features
evening entertainment, daily
drop-in writing sessions, 12
step meetings, morning yoga
and/or zikr, and many
opportunities to worship
together.
We invite attendees to take
advantage of the offerings of
the retreat center, including
delicious healthy meals, paths
to explore and art space.
We hope this weekend will
prove nourishing to body,
mind and soul.
This retreat would not be
possible without the hard
work of our planning
committee; please take a
moment to thank them for all
their efforts to ensure this
gathering is a success.
We are excited to welcome
you all to this beautiful retreat
center and hope that each of
you enjoys this weekend full of
exciting events.

An Open Letter to Our Community
from the Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity (MASGD)
In 2012, a group of committed LGBTQ and allied Muslim organizers made the difcult decision to
leave behind Al-Fatihaan organization for LGBTQ Muslims founded in 1999and to look ahead to a
new future for the LGBTQ Muslim movement.
It is with both sadness and optimism that we announce this end of an era. Al-Fatiha was born at a
pivotal moment in history, lling a void felt by many LGBTQ Muslims in the United States and beyond
its borders. Al-Fatihas founder, Faisal Alam, and two early members incorporated the non-prot
organization in the state of New York in 1999. For nearly ten years, Al-Fatiha worked diligently to
improve the lives of LGBTQ Muslims. Best known for holding community-building conferences, the
organization also nurtured local LGBTQ Muslim groups, assisted asylum seekers in the United States,
and provided much-needed education to the general public about the lives and challenges of
LGBTQ Muslims.
Despite the organizations signicant contributions to the LGBTQ Muslim movement, Al-Fatiha was not
immune to the problems that befall many non-prots after changes in leadership. After several years of
lack of attention, Al-Fatiha ceased to operate and began a process of legal dissolution.
Al-Fatihas demise served as a powerful call to action. In 2011, a dozen concerned members of the
community came together to assess the state of the LGBTQ Muslim movementand strategize for its
future. This strategy team brought together former leaders of Al-Fatiha, as well as other LGBTQ and
allied Muslim activists who have emerged as leaders since 2005.
With the generous support of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the group convened three
times at the Creating Change conference. Each year, we have led sessions for and about LGBTQ
Muslims and held community building caucuses, in addition to our strategy meetings. Between
gatherings, we have continued our strategic planningand our work has already born fruit.
In 2011 and 2012, we produced the rst LGBTQ Muslim retreats to be held in the United States since
2005. Theses retreats, held in Philadelphia, have welcomed 80 participants each, gathering LGBTQ
Muslims from across America, and welcoming a number from Canada, the U.K., Spain, and Pakistan.
We have raised funds to provide numerous scholarships for youth and adults. Our third annual retreat,
which will take place in May, sold out in a matter of weeks.
Now, we are proud to announce that our work has led to the launch of a new organizationthe
Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity (MASGD)*. MASGD is committed to building on the
achievements of Al-Fatiha and revitalizing the LGBTQ Muslim movement. To that end, we are excited
to join the work of other organizations that serve LGBTQ Muslims outside the U.S., such as Salaam
(Canada), Imaan (U.K.), the Safra Project (U.K.), HM2F (France), CALEM (E.U.), and Inner Circle
(South Africa).
2013 LGBTQ Muslim Retreat page 6
Over the past two years, our membership has evolved into a core group of nine highly-committed
individuals. Together, we bring a vast array of skills with which to build our new organization and serve
our community. We represent a variety of LGBTQ and allied identities, as well as a wide spectrum of
experience as Muslims in the U.S. The founding MASGD collective consists of: Yasmin Ahmed, Faisal
Alam, Urooj Arshad, Sara Farooqi, Kamal Fizazi, Tynan Power, Imi Rashid, Raquel Saraswati, and
Sahar Shafqat.
As we invite you to share our enthusiasm for MASGD and the work it is already doing, we also want to
recognize the complicated feelings that exist around the dissolution of Al-Fatiha. Over the past few
years, it has been painful for leaders of the LGBTQ Muslim movement to watch the organizational
collapse of Al-Fatiha. There have been times when we have felt helpless witnessing as the needs of our
community went unmet. We want to recognize the frustration and anger that many have experienced
in Al-Fatihas failure to act on behalf of the Muslim community, and the profound sadness many may
feel upon learning of the organizations closure.
We also want to express gratitude to those who have stepped in to support LGBTQ Muslims during Al-
Fatihas decline, including Muslims for Progressive Values, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force,
the aforementioned LGBTQ Muslim organizations outside the U.S. We also wish to thank all of those
who have worked tirelessly as individuals to support LGBTQ Muslims, especially those who have
contributed directly to our organization. These include Imam Daayiee Abdullah (Light of Reform
Mosque, Washington, DC), who served for two years as part of the strategy team that became the
Muslim Alliance, as well as El-Farouk Khaki (El-Tawhid Jumua Circle, Toronto, ON), Prof. Scott Siraj Al-
Haqq Kugle, author of Homosexuality in Islam (Emory University, Atlanta, GA) and many others too
numerous to name.
We hope that you will join us in recognizing the closure of the era of Al-Fatiha and in welcoming the
Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity and a bright new era for LGBTQ Muslims in the U.S.
In solidarity,
Prof. Sahar Shafqat and Tynan Power
Co-coordinators
on behalf of the MASGD Steering Committee:
* A note on our name
Our acr onym, MASGD, i s pr onounced l i ke
"masjid" [MASS-jid], the Arabic word for "mosque." The
term "masjid" actually means "the place where one
makes oneself prostrate." Our use of this acronym is
both practical, as a mnemonic device for Muslims, and
symbolic. It is used respectfully to indicate Islam as our
common ground and to reect our deep commitment to
promoting an inclusive vision of Islam, in which no one is
turned away from places of worship.

Creating Inclusive and Welcoming Prayer Spaces
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Muslims are often ostracized from their families
and communities, leading many to stop practicing their faith. For some queer women and transgender
people, the challenges of stepping into a masjid (mosque) are confounded by gender segregation and
the imposition of binary gender norms. The right to pray where we choose is often taken away from us.
As LGBTQ Muslims who long for inclusive communities, we strive to create places of worship that are
welcoming to all - regardless of ones sexual orientation or gender identity. We also welcome our
partners, families of choice, and allies to participate in a religious ritual that brings great meaning to
our lives.
With these thoughts in mind, our retreat welcomes each and every one to participate in the daily
prayers (salat/namaz) and we offer the following thoughts on creating inclusive places of worship,
including this retreat:
Whether you pray regularly or not, we invite you to this open and welcoming space.
We understand that prayer is lled with great pain for many of us - and we offer you support and
love as you join the congregation.
You may wear whatever clothing you are most comfortable in. As an inclusive community, we
avoid judging one another.
You may stand wherever you feel most comfortable. Men and women are welcome to pray side-
by-side and next to one another. We are one community.
Women are welcomed and encouraged to lead prayer. As a community committed to social
justice, we understand that we must break the bonds of sexism and male privilege.
We acknowledge that our personal histories and education inform our individual and collective
choices around performing prayer. In striving for an equitable and inclusive prayer space, we allow
for the possibility that some will be uncomfortable with unfamiliar prayer practices. We encourage
all to recognize and reect on any discomfort, but to resist the temptation to allow it to cause
divisions between us.
Allah, our Creator alone knows what is in our hearts. We seek the Divines guidance in all that we do.

KNOW WHAT GENDER IS.
A persons real gender is the one with which
the person identies. For some people, thats
the one in which they were raised. For others,
its not. Gender exists between the earsnot
between the legs.
GENDER...OR BIOLOGICAL SEX?
Dont confuse gender with biological sex. For
most people, gender identity matches
biological sexbut for others, it does not.
Keep in mind that even biological sex is far
more complicated than we usually assume.
(Around one in every 100 people has a body
that does not match the biological norm for
male or female.)
GENDER...OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION?
Dont confuse gender with sexual orientation.
Trans people, like cisgender (non-trans) people,
may be straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual,
asexual, etc. Gender is not tied to sexual
preference.
USE PREFERRED PRONOUNS.
Always use the pronouns and name the person
wants you to use. If youre unsure, ASK! If you
make a mistake, correct yourself. Politely
subtly, if possiblecorrect others if they use
the wrong pronoun for someone else.
CHECK YOUR BINARY ASSUMPTIONS.
Dont assume all trans people identify as men
or women. Some trans people and
genderqueer people identify as both, neither, or
something altogether different.
At the same time, dont assume all trans
people identify as both, neither or something
else. Many trans people do identify as men or
womenand want to be treated simply and
clearly as the gender with which they identify.
Dont confuse gender with sexual orientation.
Trans people, like non-trans people, may be
straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, etc.
Gender is not tied to sexual preference.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
Before you ask a trans person about surgery or
hormone status, ask yourself: Why am I
asking? Would I ask a person who isnt trans a
question about his or her body? Trans people
may experience questions about their physical
transition as invasive, rude, or objectifying. It
also may have the result of making trans
people feel pressure to undergo irreversible,
expensive, and risky medical processes in
order to have their identities respected.
If a trans person wants to share this information
with you, allow them to do so on their own
terms. (If you are going to have sex with a trans
person, that would be an appropriate time to
ask for guidance in relating to their body).
RESPECT TRANS PEOPLES PRIVACY.
Dont tell others that someone is trans unless
that person has given you permission to do so.
This is especially important for people who
have transitioned. Coming out as trans after
transition means revealing personal medial
historyit is not your right to share that
information (not even to other trans or queer
people).
DONT ASSUME YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
(AND DONT PRETEND YOU DO)
Do listen if a transperson chooses to talk to you
about their gender identity. Be honest about
what you dont understanddont try to fake it!
RECOGNIZE TRANS WOMEN AS THE
WOMEN THEY ARE.
Trans women suffer from sexismas well as
transphobia. Recognize that trans women
deserve access to women-only spaces/
programs/shelters/etc.
KNOW YOUR PRIVILEGE. Recognize your
privilege and prejudices as a normatively
gendered person. Think about try to
understand why you may feel uncomfortable
about transgender.
Trans Ally Tips
* With thanks to the LGBT Resource Center at UC Davis and Tynan Power for their support and help in creating this tip sheet.
2013 LGBTQ Muslim Retreat page 11
Trans Ally Tips (CONTINUED)
TRANSGENDER IS REALLY NOT SO GAY.
Dont refer to the LGBTQ community as the
gay community. Some trans people and their
partners are not gayand it trivializes lesbian
and bisexual identities as well. The same goes
for gay rights, the gay movement, gay
culture, etc.
DONT TOKENIZE Simply adding the T to
LGB doesnt make you or your organization hip,
progressive, or an ally. Make sure you have the
resources, information and understanding to
deserve that T.
SPEAK OUTYOU PLAY A VITAL ROLE AS
AN ALLY. Dont let transphobia slide. Confront
it as you would confront all other forms of
oppression. Trans issues are rarely discussed &
when they are it is often in a negative light.
Transphobia is equally oppressive as (and works
in conjunction with) sexism, homophobia,
racism, classism, etc.
Talk about trans issues/rights. Engage people in
discussions and share your knowledge. The
majority of information people have about trans
issues is based on stereotypes & assumptions.
To most people, trans folks are the freaks from
Jerry Springer.|
Be aware of the vital role you play as a non-trans
person. Remember that the way you talk about
trans people (e.g., using the right pronouns)
inuences how others perceive us. It can make a
difference in whether we pass and whether we
feel safe/comfortable. Always remember that
people may be more likely to listen to and take
cues from non-trans people than from trans
people. What you say and do matters!
ITS ABOUT RESPECT. Above all respect and
support trans people in their lives and choices.
