In a video posted on his Facebook page, Navabi is seen warmly welcomed by many members of Vancouver LGBT community that took part in the Pride Day. One gave him a thumb up, others hugged and cheered him in support. Only two negative reactions were recorded.

Navabi explained what motivated him to march holding the sign “Allah is gay”:

A lot of people ask why are we doing this. The most simple response is that we are trying to break a taboo. There is nothing wrong with being gay, so why that should be offensive?… This seems like a very simple thing to do here and it is. There is not much consequences for us saying something like this Allah is gay here. But this is punishable by death in many countries. We just want to show to them, if they are watching that there are places where you can get away with saying stuff like this and nothing can happen to you, and give them hope, give them hope that if we can get away with that of death penalty or imprisonment in a country like this… and not only I’m free to say it, it shows you how much positive support we get from people, there is hope for your country. Love has to win. Not just here but everywhere.
