Pas besoin d’être grand clerc pour deviner les motivations des meurtriers du premier imam ouvertement gay au monde.

Pensées fraternelles pour celles et ceux sincèrement heurtés par cette sauvagerie sans nom.

I met Muhsin in Istanbul in 2008. We had invited him to Pride. It was one of those years when Pride events got a lot of attention in the mainstream media. #MuhsinHendricks

He touched the lives of countless queer individuals who were caught between their religious beliefs and their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, leading to struggles such as depression, loneliness, family and societal rejection, and existential crisis. #MuhsinHendricks

As an atheist and LGBTQ+ activist who had struggled with Islamic beliefs throughout my childhood, meeting and listening to him opened new windows in my mind. And not just mine, of course - it did the same for many of us involved in the LGBTQ+ struggle in Turkey during those years. #MuhsinHendricks
