However, the realisation that there was nothing wrong with who I was, was the most liberating feeling in the world.

Coming out was liberating…
Coming out was so liberating, I did not know I was embarking on a journey to become an LGBT+ rights campaigner.
This is the first year I can truly say I’m proud
I hope by being more visible + working with LGBTQ organisations I can inspire Queer Asians to express themselves.

Coming out against the odds
Coming out against the odds & getting married wasn’t easy at times, but living your truth is always worth it!
Supporting the Naz and Matt Foundation
We’re excited to announce that each Gaysian Face we featured on our FB page, we will add a donation button for our viewers to donate to the Naz and Matt Foundation.
Gaysian Faces believes in the foundation, they are doing so much for education, as hate crimes against the LGBTQIA+ and bullying (online bullying) increases, the Naz and Matt Foundation is going out to schools to show children the effects bullying does to a child who identifies at LGBTQIA+.
Not only that, but also teaching parents not to let homophobia get in the way of loving your child for the person they were born to be.
To utter those words “Mum & Dad I’m ________” (whatever you identify as) is a very personal and private journey with no expiry date on how you go about your journey. All we want is our parents love and acceptance. The foundation offers support to those who have been rejected by their families too.
We’re proud to support the Naz and Matt Foundation, support doesn’t always mean money – it can be simply sharing/retweeting, helping your favourite charity gain visibility means more than you’ll ever know to those behind the charity.
It’s okay to be LGBTQ+ and Muslim.
Gaysian Faces kicking off again tomorrow!
Well we really never left you, we just ran out of beautiful faces and stories to feature. But that’s all changing.
I’m looking forward to kicking off every Thursday with a new Gaysian Face to feature. I know you will find their quotes inspiring and thought provoking.
I’m sorry it’s been a bit high and dry these last couple of years, but looking forward to collaborate with more organisations. Watch this space.
