It was Inauguration Day, when Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States. During his campaign, Trump made numerous references to Muslims that struck many as antagonistic, causing them as well as members of other minority groups to anticipate his presidency with anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Lacking backing from other LGBT groups in the Chicago area, Lynn and Zaynab Shahar, the other co-founder of Masjid al-Rabia that provides an inclusive place for worship and community for Muslim LGBT women. While the group does not have a permanent mosque structure, Lynn and Shahar refer to it as a mosque, or masjid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to offering Friday prayers, the group also holds open events where members and supporters can talk about relevant issues. About 10 non-Muslim women also attended the jummah prayer last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working to build infrastructure for pastoral care for people who need it,\u201d Lynn said.<\/p>\n<p>Katrina Daly, 41, a professor of African cultural studies at the University of Wisconsin who attended Friday\u2019s prayer session to observe and continue her research on the group, takes a dim view of how related Trump policies may evolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is going to discriminate against Muslims, transgender people, gays and lesbians, and he said he may take away people\u2019s right to marry,\u201d Daly said. \u201cSo I think we should be worried, and people should fight for their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zohra Syed, 27, a member of Masjid al-Rabia who works as a student services coordinator, said: \u201cI am not hopeful that Trump will do anything positive for any of the identities I have as a female LGBT Muslim. I don\u2019t have a lot of faith in him right now. This is unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his inaugural speech, Trump did not mention sexual orientation, and he vowed to \u201cunite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Trump did say that \u201cwhether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American flag.\u201d He added, \u201cSo to all Americans \u2026 hear these words: You will never be ignored again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Muslims think Trump should not only treat them fairly but also assist their community. \u201cIn terms of the larger [Muslim] community, I think our primary focus is to want the president to provide us a safer space,\u201d said Shahar, 26, a Ph.D. candidate at the Chicago Theological Seminary.<\/p>\n<p>Among Masjid al-Rabia\u2019s members are also Muslim women who are straight. Caitlin Helinski, 22, an early childhood education teacher who led the Friday prayer, said, \u201cI really do think there are some dark times ahead of us, especially with Trump\u2019s presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amid such painful uncertainty, its members see Masjid al-Rabia as a source of optimism and hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to come to a space where I feel totally included as woman, as a bisexual person,\u201d Shahar said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: People who are interested in sexual orientation and Muslim issues listen to co-founders of Masjid al-Rabia speech about their activities.
