The Queer Muslim Experience. What does that look like? Can the two co-exist? Bilal Ahmed, a queer Muslim and refugee from Dubai now residing in Canada, challenges stereotypes with their profound connection to both queerness and Allah. Discover the intricacies of navigating queerness in predominantly Muslim countries, family dynamics, and Bilal's personal reconciliation between being a queer Muslim. We hope this conversation bridges the gaps between faith, identity, and acceptance. Enjoy!
