Istame'a | Listen: Queer Muslim Stories

Episode 4: The Concept of Coming Out

We share what it’s like coming out as queer and Muslim and the obstacles that come with it. Maria, Almass and Sameer talk about their experiences and give their advice.

Welcome to our podcast, Istame'a | Listen, a safe space for sharing queer Muslim stories. In our four-part series hosted by Rabia Mirza, we’ll be sharing raw, honest and personal stories from queer Muslims. We’ll explore what it’s like to come out, how we navigate the stigma of shame and examine the blurred lines between religion, sexuality and culture. This series is brought to you by Hidayah, one of UK’s fastest growing organisations supporting LGBTQI+ Muslims. Our mission is to ensure the voices of queer Muslims are heard and understood.
