A group of South Asian Queers here to tell you that they have always been here. The panel will reflect on their LGBTQIA+ Queer Icons and discuss their experience as a minority within a minority. The panel aims to highlight the important role intersectionality has played in the LGBTQIA+ liberation movement. We shall talk about the past, the present, and a future for the LGBTQIA+ community.There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions. Come ready for stereotypes to be broken and a re-imagining of the queer experience.Update : Unfortunately, both our panellists are no longer able to commit to this event. As such, the event will go ahead, led by Usman Ahmed, discussing his South Asian LGBTQ+ experience, queer icons from the South Asian diaspora, with an opportunity for open Q&amp;A)

Usman Ahmed is a Bradfordian through and through, having lived and worked here all his life. He currently works as the Peer Learning Advisor at the University of Bradford, but has previously volunteered as Muslim Chaplain, and is interested in exploring Sexuality, Islam and being South Asian.
