Timeline
Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed (born 1977) is a French-Algerian imam.
An openly gay Muslim, Zahed is the founder of an Islamic prayer room in Paris, France, with the goal of accommodating the LGBT and feminist Muslim communities.
He also founded the LGBT Muslim association HM2F, and manages the Calem Institute in Marseille.
He was born Mohamed Zahed in Algiers, Algeria, in 1977.
Growing up between Algeria and France, he reported having felt "part boy, part girl" as a child.
As a teenager, he struggled recognizing his own homosexuality while briefly involving himself in the Salafi movement; at the end of his teenage years, he rejected both Salafism and Islam and followed Buddhism instead.
He acquired French citizenship at the age of 20, changing his first name to "Ludovic".
At the age of 21, he decided to come out to his family, getting mixed reactions.
He later followed Islam again, and in 2010 founded the organization HM2F, Homosexuel(les) musulman(es) de France (Muslim Homosexuals of France).
In 2011, while same-sex marriage had yet to be legalized in France, he legally married a South African man in Cape Town.
In November 2012, Zahed set up an "inclusive" Muslim prayer room in Paris, which has been described by the press as "Europe's first gay-friendly mosque".
They later moved to France, and were united by another, religious marriage ceremony (having no legal value in France) performed by an imam in 2012.
In 2014, two Muslim Iranian women were married by Zahed in a religious ceremony held in Stockholm, Sweden, which prompted a group of Algerian Salafists to demand that Zahed be stripped of his Algerian citizenship.
In 2019, he opened the Calem Institute in Marseille, which includes a prayer room and aims to raise awareness of progressive values (such as LGBT rights and feminism) within the Muslim world.
Zahed is HIV-positive, having contracted the illness as a teenager.
In June 2019, Zahed gave an interview to Agenda, the blog of the World Economic Forum, regarding his experiences after his coming out as a homosexual man.
Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed has described himself as a "progressive Muslim" who argues that believers should "question institutional dogma" and insists that "neither homophobia or misogyny respect Islamic ethics".
Through his works, he has voiced his concerns for the Muslim community in France, and LGBT Muslims in particular, who according to him, are facing both threats of homonationalism and religious fundamentalism.
In France, he has openly stood in favor of same-sex marriage.
The opening of a Muslim prayer room by Zahed in Paris, which he described as more "inclusive" to LGBT believers, was met with mixed reaction from the rest of the Muslim community in France; a spokesman for the Grand Mosque of Paris stated that the prayer room did not belong to the Islamic community.
