This qualitative study critically examined, from an interpretive perspective, 14 life stories of LBTQ Muslim women across North America. This paper explored how LBTQ Muslim women navigated Muslim and LGBTQ hegemonic norms and exclusions as they negotiated and lived out identity intersections. Transnational and critical race feminisms, intersectionality, and critical Islamic liberationist approaches to gender and sexuality framed the project. The study findings suggested that LBTQ Muslim women resisted hegemonic norms by mapping out alternative paths grounded in Islam, and in living out lives in LGBTQ communities. Participants discussed their experiences of being "othered" within LGBTQ communities, how they challenged the notion of a monolithic Islam, how they expanded coming-out frameworks to include their own experiences, as well as how they asserted their own religious agency and resistance. Participants demonstrated that living out an intersectional identity was a complex task where constant negotiations of positionality were transpiring concurrently.
这项定性研究从解释性视角批判性地审视了北美各地14位女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿（LBTQ）穆斯林女性的人生故事。本文探讨了LBTQ穆斯林女性在协商和实践身份交叉点时，如何应对穆斯林和LGBTQ霸权规范及排斥。跨国和批判种族女性主义、交叉性理论以及批判伊斯兰解放主义的性别与性取向研究方法构成了该项目的理论框架。研究结果表明，LBTQ穆斯林女性通过规划基于伊斯兰教义的另类道路以及在LGBTQ社群中生活，抵制了霸权规范。参与者们讨论了她们在LGBTQ社群中被“边缘化”的经历、她们如何挑战单一伊斯兰教的观念、她们如何扩展出柜框架以纳入自身经历，以及她们如何主张自己的宗教能动性和反抗精神。参与者们表明，实践交叉身份是一项复杂的任务，在此过程中，身份定位的持续协商同时进行。
