I've had a few off days, but I'm submerging myself into the world I've created and it's all falling into place.
The deadline is before December 20th 2018. If I keep this up it looks realistic without feeling forced. I'm really enjoying the process.
I've realised that there are people I owe credit for input and support and I will have a dedicated page also in memory of family I have lost who inspired me to do better.
I asked a Muslim friend of mine to give me their insight on how they would like to be represented. And I hope I have upheld their wish for kindness, love, understanding, acceptance and faith.
They are a young person that I was mutual with on Twitter.
They were struggling as a queer teenager living in Egypt and last I had heard, they came out to their sister.
They were struggling with identity and honouring their parents, and saw injustice through their lens as a member of the LGBTQ+ Community and also as a practicing Muslim. Having strong faith and realising they can both be queer and Muslim.
They were not 'out' to the world though, and I gave advice where I could to wait till they were older and safe.
I fear I know not of their safety, but I dedicate my portrayal of their image of a Muslim family to them without prejudice, but faithful.
I will note here that I do not portray any family member as part of the LGBTQ+ family as I don't want to cross lines I fear I daren't cross and also because I was asked not to, but they have helped those in need without discrimination. <3
Real representation of modern people of faith matter. x
