Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ex-husband and rumored brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, referred to himself as a “gay man” in an academic paper published earlier this year.
Elmi’s self-described sexual orientation adds to the mounting evidence that his 2009 marriage to Omar was a sham to obtain legal immigration status for her alleged brother.
“As a gay man of the East African diaspora, my fieldwork was never neutral,” Elmi, a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, wrote in an August 2026 paper titled, “Out in the Field: Notes on Researching Queer Violence in Kenya.”
“It was a space shaped by tension, risk, intimacy, and vulnerability,” he continued. “While navigating the challenges of ethnographic research, I immersed myself in the lived experiences of the people I spoke with, while also negotiating my own safety and the complexities of my identity.”
The paper was first-reported by the Daily Caller.
Elmi came to live with Omar and her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in Minnesota in 2009, The Post reported Wednesday.
A friend of Hirsi described Elmi as an “extremely feminine Somali guy” who “was walking around in tight female clothing, which is heavily frowned upon in the Somali community.”

Researching Queer Violence in Kenya
Hussein would know.
Muhammed said its OK to marry your brother, if he is gay, or only is interested camels.
That is worth extra to the libtards.
bttt
So, in other words, the marriage was Fake and Gay.
Funny, she doesn’t seem “embattled.”
I’m not going to ask what sexual position the brother had with Omar/Elme. Yuck
Very important research, I am sure.
Not sure how I lived without knowing such earth shattering information.
I'll be he got "immersed." What a family of military junta, brutal tyrants, creeps, liars, islamists, bigamists, immigration cheats, and faggots. Just what we want in Congress.
“... Just what we want in Congress.”
That’s the Democrat Party in the 21st century, all right.
Well he does have the jargon down, you have to give him that
That is one of the things that annoy me about many gay people. They have to let me know what I am not asking for.
He’s probably NOT gay and will just use it to claim asylum if they try to deport him, but he will get plenty of practice in prison.
It worked out well then, as he didn’t feel the need to exercise his Muslim right to consummate the marriage.
One of the most prominent homosexual Muslims in the world, then. Uh, that’s not a compliment among Muslims.
Traded recipes from his mom to other guys. Just adores Judy Garland. Can name fifty top drag queens.
Agree. Yuck. Like when early in her career advancement Kamala Harris said she enjoyed working under Willie Brown. Do we need to know?
If I needed to marry a brother, I’d pick the gay one, too! *SNORT*
GET THE HELL OUT of MY Country, Bish! OUT! OUT! D@MN SPOT!
Hey -off-topic, but congrats to your Brewers.
One of my co-workers is from Wisconsin and he’s a serious Brewers fan - life-long, as is his sweet wife. He was over the moon today. He’s one of the nicest people at my work, so I was rooting for them too.
Thanks! It’s been an awesome season!
We took Mom - who is a DIE HARD Brewers fan - to a game on Mother’s Day. They really did it up nice for all of the ‘Moms’ in attendance. *HEART*
‘Mis’ did his 100+ MPH pitches that day and we beat the Yankees! It was awesome. :)
I’ve been going to games in what was once ‘County Stadium’ since I was a toddler. Grandma Anita, Mom’s Mom, was an even MORE rabid fan than my Mom. Many a Mother’s Day we were in our snowmobile suits in the stands. That wind is a wall of ICE off of Lake Michigan in May. No fancy retractable ‘roof’ back then.
So, SO many great memories there. I kinda wish they could’ve screwed around and brought the final WIN back home to Milwaukee, but I’ll take it!
And no riots and nothing set on fire in Milwaukee. Go figure. :)
There’s no joy here in the Bay Area.
