MUSLIM AND GAY

Isla in conversation with Baba, who speaks openly about the struggles of reconciling is homosexual, South Asian and Muslim identities.
👣 We discuss what it's like to be homosexual and Muslim, and Baba's evolving and complicated relationship with religion.
👣 In context of the recent call for anonymous social media accounts to be banned (in anti-racism campaigns), we talk about the undervalued havens that anonymous Instagram accounts provide for him and others in the LGBTQ+ community, since he cannot share his real name due to security fears.
👣 We also delve into what it's like to feel like you can't be your true self around the people you love the most and his experience of homophobia within the South Asian community.
