Being a straight-passing, Arab, Muslim, gay guy whose name is Mohammed fucking sucks. Everybody assumes I'm a homophobe, and when I want to approach a guy I just worry I'm gonna scare him off.

The thing is, if you approach him, then you know he knows you’re not a homophobe. Just be bold and if he’s a good guy, then no hard feelings. (Coming from a gay guy who wishes more people approached him)

I was gonna make a joke abt u doxxing ur name but statistically thats the most common name worldwide. Either that or McLovin. Seriously though you’re fine, more people need to realize arab muslim peeps are regular people and like regular people are not always homophobic. It’s on them if they make that assumption, not you.

Obvs there are a lot of underlying issues there but since you’re not gonna change society overnight, have you considered going by Mo? bc having a less serious sounding name might leave a different first impression. Or like dressing more gay

Yes they do exist! Plenty of them. I grew up in a Muslims majority community in Michigan.
