I have just watch, ‘My God, I’m Queer’. What a phenomenal piece, filled with phenomenal individuals. The stories were raw, honest, heart breaking and hopeful, above all, they showed me what true bravery is. I sincerely wish the best and a lifetime full of love for everyone who partook in the documentary and want them to realise how they are providing positive LGBQT + role models in the LGBQT + community, Asian, and Asian Muslim community.
With love,
