520 |a This article focuses on the nexus between sexual diversity, secularism, and empire as sites of contestation and collaboration that continue to influence articulations and constructions of how to be simultaneously Muslim and part of a sexual minority. The politics of same-sex sexuality during the colonial period will be examined and it will be argued that colonialism had a detrimental effect in influencing the sexual epistemology of the colonized, in particular, Muslims and homoeroticism. We will also argue that the contemporary struggle for gay liberation is easily manipulated to serve a not-entirely-benign agenda of dominant powers and could serve as a mechanism to further marginalize certain people including both straight and queer Muslims. Finally, we engage with a critique of the postcolonial treatment of same-sex sexuality and attempt to explore ways in which such a critique can operate in tandem with a positive recognition of the humanity and existence of sexual minorities and the need for Muslim religious discourse to seriously consider formulating a response to sexual diversity that is grounded in the ethics of justice.
