text: I love that the muslim women in congress are so progressive and stand up for everyone's rights.  OP also posted this on r/islam and people are hating cause she went to pride parade. I don't want to participate in that sub because its toxic, but i will say that as a bi muslim, seeing a muslim politician go to pride warmed my heart. A lot of us wouldn't be accepted by our own families and friends but knowing that Ilhan was willing to put herself out there even though she must have been aware of how muslims would react is truly inspiring.
