Season 3, Episode 3
Queer Muslim scholar Azfar Anwar joins Queer Talk to explore Queerness in Islam, his journey from conflict to self-acceptance, and how questioning and deconstructing what he had been taught helped him rediscover his faith. We also explore identity, AI and what the future could hold for Queer Muslims.

"Members only": 20 years on, Manchester’s Queer Scene
Movements built on exclusion always need another enemy. Someone else to blame, fear, or sacrifice. Every generation produces people convinced they'll be the exception: the "good" immigrant, the "good" Muslim, the "good" Queer person, the "good" brown person.
History has a phrase for this now: leopards ate my face.
The moment when people support cruel and exclusionary politics, only to act shocked when those same politics eventually come for them too.
