I'm just shaking my head on this one. Homosexuality and Islam are not compatible. No way are these Brits devout Muslims; they must fall into the secular category.

British Gay Muslims Seeking Islamic Marriage
"Good luck with that…
(BBC News) — 'British gay Muslims are joining the global fight for equality and seeking gay Islamic marriage.
The BBC’s 5 live Investigates speaks to one couple about their "nikah" — a Muslim matrimonial contract — and asks how they balance their sexuality with the Islamic faith.
“We met about three years ago, at an iftar — a breaking of fast during Ramadan.
“I think a lot of Muslims find that time of year very spiritual and very enlightening, and so I think that’s why our relationship developed, because we spoke about our faith.”
“Eventually we went on a date.”
Asra recalls the first time she met her partner, Sarah, three years ago. The gay couple, who are also Muslim, are one of a growing number of gay, British Muslims who have cemented their relationship with marriage – Islamic marriage.
Asra fondly remembers the moment Sarah proposed to her.
“After the first date, which was about an hour, Sarah casually asked me to marry her.”
Sarah interjects.
“I think it was more like four hours, after dinner, coffee and walking. I didn’t really plan it, but it just really seemed like the way it was between us, I should try and keep it as pure as possible.
“That may sound strange being lesbians, but it felt like we should do it the most honourable way we could.”'
