Sexuality, Migration and Refuge in the UK: A Cross-generational Dialogue – with special guests Joon Lynn Goh, Thiru Seelan, African Rainbow Family, Shahmir Sanni and Lesbians & Gays Support The Migrants
‘So we want to take space, make room for them to exist without that violence, and to celebrate US in all our intersectional, inter-generational and transnational identities. Because migrants aren’t just one thing, and queers are not just one thing that you can point at us with.
Our identities are an amalgamation of experiences that have everything to do with how we see ourselves in the world. At the QMTs, we try and make a safe space for everyone, so that everyone can feel welcome.
We want difference and otherness, in all its glory, to be celebrated and welcomed. Because feeling welcomed is how people feel liberated, it is the first step towards freedom.‘ QMT
