The paper explores how LGBTQ issues, especially homosexuality, are viewed within Shia Islam by examining the perspectives of several scholars and activists. It highlights a range of views: some figures shift from seeing homosexuality as strictly sinful to more moderate or human-rights-oriented positions, while others focus on equal ethical treatment regardless of religious interpretation. The study concludes that Shia Islamic thought on LGBTQ rights is still evolving and inconclusive, with no widely accepted consensus yet.
