Queer Muslims and as well as the inter-faith community feel isolated due to an inability to reconcile their faith with their sexual orientation and gender identity. Therefore, existing queer organisations in their areas are not equipped to deal with their issues of faith. 

A vast majority of queer Muslims and inter-faith community are estranged by their families, dropped out of school, unemployed, recovering drug addicts and dealing with mental challenges and low self-esteem. 

Whenever they feel the lack of support, they tend to negotiate the dilemma between religion, sexual orientation and gender identity with drug and alcohol abuse, apostasy and suicide attempts. In the Western Cape alone, the unemployment rate amongst queer people of colour, especially transgender people are alarmingly high. Other factors, including school dropouts, also contribute to these high statistics.
