Muslim American attitudes toward same-sex marriage have liberalized since 2007

Evidence

Homonationalism describes the process where Muslims are cast as inherently homophobic, which is used to align LGBTQ issues into a nationalistic agenda that perpetuates racist attitudes toward Muslims (Puar 2007). But Muslims’ ideas on same sex are becoming more progressive over time. According to the Pew Research Center (2015), in 2007, 38 percent of Muslim respondents felt “homosexuality should be accepted” compared to 45 percent in 2014. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 111
