Joe Erbentraut has a piece up on EDGE looking at the relationship between the Muslim community and the queer community. The piece poses the question of whether the LGBT community should defend (or ally) with the Muslim community, and ultimately answers that we should:

    As gay men and lesbians try to come to terms with, work with, and even fight for, communities of faith, it may be seen as increasingly influential part of queer Americans' ongoing quest for broader acceptance and legal protection.

    It's an effort that will require a resistance to stereotyping and an emphasis on education and compassion each step of the way. From all involved.
