Shalom, Salaam, We're Queer

What does it mean to be Queer and a person of faith? An honest conversation with Hafsa Qureshi and Ymir Targaryen about their relationships with faith as two proud members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Hafsa:

Hafsa Qureshi (any pronouns) is an openly bisexual and genderqueer Muslim from Birmingham (UK). They are a multi-award winning LGBTQ+ activist, writer, and public speaker. Their work has been featured in: VICE, Sky News, Channel 4, Metro, BBC News, Pink News and more. They have worked with numerous public, private and third sector organisations across their career. They currently work within LGBTQ+ inclusion and are a Trustee of the charity Gendered Intelligence.

Ymir:

Ymir has spent his adult life doing what most Jewish boys do.. disappointing his mother. He did become a doctor but of nothing useful. Now studying Talmud with a queer lens and seeking entry into rabbinical school. So ultimately to sum up, Ymir is a Jewish boy born to be frum not to run.
