Join us for a conversation exploring how we celebrate identity during Pride season.
- Topic: Finding belonging with faith, culture and queerness
- Date: Tuesday 7th July, 2026
- Time: 6 - 7.30pm
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
A twice monthly friendly and welcoming online social and peer support group for gay, bi and trans men with South Asian heritage.
Our aim is to reduce isolation by creating a safe space to get to know each other through shared lived experiences, topic discussions and creative activities.
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 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 so we can minimise any disruption).
- Please read our online group agreement
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.
