About this session

How do faith and queerness show up in your life? How has culture shaped your sense of belonging? Where do you find connection, acceptance, and community?

As part of South Asian History Month's theme of Unity and Diversity, join us for a conversation about the ways faith, culture, and queerness shape our lives. From family traditions and spiritual beliefs to questions of identity and belonging, we'll explore the similarities and differences in our experiences as South Asian gay, bi, trans and queer men.

Whether faith is central to your life, something you've redefined, or something you've left behind, all perspectives are welcome in this supportive and inclusive space.

About South Asian HangOuts

South Asian HangOuts is a welcoming online Zoom social and peer support group for gay, bi and trans men from South Asian heritage, who live (or have lived), work or socialise in the UK.

This online space is an opportunity to build community by coming together and connecting with one another in a safe and friendly non-judgmental space. We understand that the importance of meeting other people and we want to create a safe space together to get to know each other. 

Our aim is to reduce isolation by creating a safe space to get to know each other through shared lived experiences, through topic discussions and activities.

  • We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month 6 - 7.30pm
  • Please try to arrive 5 minutes early. The Zoom room closes at 6.10pm - this is to minimize disruption.
  • Please read our online group agreement before attending.
  • If you are unable to attend please cancel your ticket in Eventbrite or email me to let me know; so I can offer a space to people that may be on the waiting list - [email protected] 
By South Asian we mean countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka and beyond. We welcome gay, bi & trans men from all South Asian faith backgrounds as well as those who don’t identify with any faith. One of the main aims of the groups is to reduce isolation including social, cultural and geographical, by connecting with each other's lived experiences.
