PARIS (AFP) – A newlywed homosexual Frenchman is on a mission to prove that “being gay and Muslim is possible” after feeling forced for years to choose between his religion and sexuality.
It took Algerian-born Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed, 35, two decades to come to terms with himself, but now that he’s at peace he’s made it his goal to fight Islamophobia and homophobia.
His call comes at a time when France, home to Europe’s largest Muslim community, is warming up to gay marriage.
