Daayiee Abdullah's first act as Imam was to funeral rites for a homosexual Muslim who died of AIDS. Different Imams had declined to do the Muslim cleaning routine for the AIDS victim. That sort of exclusion was why Abdullah turned an Imam in the very first place, to provide help to homosexual and lesbian Muslims who're frequently excluded from their spiritual communities.
Several National Muslim leaders have condemned him, specially for doing homosexual marriages. Some imams actually won't greet him.
