Yet, even when recognition of this experience in the media is important, I wonder to what degree this can an open discussion on LGBTQ rights for women in Islam when Muslim women are depicted as victims of Islam, as “secretly” sexualized beings, as girls trying to overcome a religious establishment or as women pursuing a fairy tales usually in the forms of marriage? Is it perhaps a politicized change in media coverage? What will be the next shifts that we can expect to see?
Perhaps? Hell yeah it is!
