It is not a stereotype but a reality. For example, Labour MPs Zarah Sultana and Apsana Begum in the UK abstained from votes supporting LGBTQ-inclusive education. In Canada, Liberal MP Salma Zahid initially opposed aspects of LGBTQ curriculum in Ontario schools. In France, some Muslim local politicians have voiced opposition to pride parades or LGBTQ education initiatives. The First Minister of Scotland, Humza Yousa, in February 2014, during the final Stage 3 vote on the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014—which legalized same-sex marriage was notably absent and did not cast a vote. Islamic homophobia is an existential threat to LGBT community.
