About this session

What does celebrating ‘Pride’ mean to you? How does this connect to your identity?

Join us for a conversation exploring how we celebrate identity during Pride season, especially within the context of South Asian culture. Together, we’ll reflect on the intersections of culture, community, and queerness, and share what Pride looks and feels like for each of us.

About South Asian HangOuts

A twice monthly friendly and welcoming online social and peer support group for gay, bi and trans men with South Asian heritage.

Our aim is to reduce isolation by creating a safe space to get to know each other through shared lived experiences, topic discussions and creative activities.

This online space is an opportunity to build community by coming together and connecting with one another in a safe and friendly non-judgmental space.

• We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month 6 -7.30pm
• Please try to arrive 5 minutes early. The Zoom room closes at 6.10pm (this is so we can minimise any disruption).
• Please read our online group agreement

By South Asian we mean countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka and beyond. We welcome gay, bi & trans men from all South Asian faith backgrounds as well as those who don’t identify with any faith. One of the main aims of the groups is to reduce isolation including social, cultural and geographical, by connecting with each other's lived experiences.
