About this session
What does it feel like to belong to more than one world?
As South Asian GBTQ men, we may find ourselves navigating different cultures, communities, expectations and identities. At times, these worlds can feel connected; at other times, we might feel caught somewhere in between.
In this South Asian HangOut session, we’ll explore what culture, queerness and belonging mean to us, and how our experiences have shaped the people we are today.
We might talk about family, friendships, language, traditions, religion, food, relationships, masculinity, LGBTQ+ spaces and the different places where we feel most, or least, like ourselves.
- Where do you feel most at home?
- Have you ever felt caught between cultures or communities?
- Can we create our own space where all parts of ourselves belong?
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.
