Faisal Alam: Hidden Voices - The Lives of Queer Muslims,

New York University
Kimmel Center, Room 802

Faisal Alam is a pioneer of the Muslim Queer solidarity movement. He will speak on his experience in the activist community, as well as his particularly underrepresented identity. By exploring the complex diversity within the Muslim world and by illustrating the many challenges facing queer Muslims, this presentation will bring new light into the lives of an often invisible and silent community. The history of the queer Muslim movement will be presented and a
discussion on Islam's view towards sexual and gender minorities will also be explored in this interactive presentation.
