Get ready to connect with your community and make sense of your identity with ‘Start Making Sense: Middle Eastern Men’!

‘Start Making Sense: Middle Eastern Men’ is a face-to-face workshop that provides gay, bi+, or queer Middle Eastern guys a safe space to meet and share their experiences of being Middle Eastern and LGBTQ+.

Over the four weeks, we will be exploring the topics of:

  • Being Middle Eastern and LGBTQ+

  • Coming out/ coming in

  • Navigating family, culture & religion

  • Stigma and prejudice in our communities

  • Relationships as gay, bi+, or queer Middle Eastern guys

  • Keeping safe while having fun

  • …and more!

‘Start Making Sense: Middle Eastern Men’ workshops are run by fellow gay, bi+, queer Middle Eastern guys who have a shared experience with you. We will ensure that each session is fun, informative, safe, and meaningful!
