What's the holy Koran's view of gay people?
user
That's an interesting question.  The Koran contains passages that are sympathetic to the suffering of people who are homosexual.  However, it also many religious leaders to seek to exclude gay people from participation in Muslim communities by some declaring homosexuality to be forbidden or sinful.  There is also a great deal of debate among Muslims about how to apply religious principles about homosexuality, and many Muslims practice Islam while also supporting legal rights for gay people.  Despite this complex debate among Muslims, Islam does have a strong tradition of religious freedom and inclusion, including for gay people.

I don’t know that I can answer that fully, but I can tell you that there are many different interpretations, which is partly a reflection of the time it was written. Homosexuality was not well understood in the medieval Middle East, and so there are views of it that have evolved since then. We can talk more about those.
