Most of the groups you will find which are open about what they're doing are based in Europe or America, so if your looking for a resource which connects you to Gay Muslims in those parts of the world you will find plenty of stuff out there.
I can't really help you with an forum or group, but you might be interested in this movie if you haven't seen it already.
A JIHAD FOR LOVE:::A FIlm by Parvez Sharma
In Afghanistan and Pakistan, behaviors which we in the west consider 'gay' are normal for men, and the women are reduced to being used only for breeding purposes. Hence they would not call themselves gay Muslims. It has to do with changing the definition.
Try a search for Pathan sexuality, and look into traditional Persian mystic poetry, where the Beloved is typically a young male.
Finding an actual 'support group' might be hard.
Oh Lopo, I can`t even imagine what`s it`s like being openly gay in such circumstances. I`m not a muslim, but if you have any questions or any problems you need help with, just ask.
Try these- there are several groups mentioned on these sites
GAY & LESBIAN ARAB SOCIETY
Gay and lesbian Arabs
Queer Muslims Home Page
This one looks good. queerjihad
I googled but the results are very vogue.
Well, according to the Iranian President there are no gay Arabs / muslims.....

Don't know of any gay Muslim sites, but I do know of one for black French Jewish Lesbians if you're interested.
Not sure being Malay is that much better. Aren't they required to be Muslim by law while Chinese, Indians, European expats, et cetera in Malaysia can be whatever they want... subjecting them to Sharia law while non-Malay non-Muslims aren't subjected to it?
