Join us for a conversation exploring how we celebrate identity during Pride season.
- Topic: Being seen for who we are
- Date: Tuesday 6th October, 2026
- Time: 6 - 7.30pm
About this session
This session is all about identity, acceptance and feeling understood. As South Asian LGBTQ+ men, we can sometimes feel seen differently depending on who we’re with and where we are. Especially those awkward South Asian parties and weddings where we may not be able to full be ourselves.
This session is a chance to explore what it means to feel accepted, understood and comfortable being ourselves.
- What does it mean to feel truly seen?
- Where can we be our whole selves?
- And what helps us feel accepted and valued for who we are?
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.
