Mosques don’t usually welcome gay and lesbian worshipers.

But on Friday a Muslim group just outside Paris held what’s billed as the first “gay-friendly” Islamic worship in Europe.

The group also allows men and women to pray together.

The location was kept secret – for security reasons.

The World’s Amy Bracken met the man who launched project.

She said he is a French Muslim who decided to fight for a more inclusive interpretation of Islam after he realized he was gay.
