Matt is interviewed by Gaydio’s Emma and Chris on Wednesday 15th April 2015 about his fiancé Naz, and the charity (Naz and Matt Foundation) setup in memory of Naz to tackle homophobia within religion.
Matt
Matt set up the Naz and Matt Foundation in memory of his soulmate and fiancé, Naz, who passed away two days after being confronted about his sexuality by his religious parents. It was the first time that they knew their son was gay, in a relationship with Matt for 13 years and that they were planning to get married.

Walk of 'acceptance' to remember troubled Muslim doctor who killed himself
My mother,born 1914,could never ‘come out’ to anyone and was taught by nuns. She suffered mental health problems her whole life and finally took her own life in 1982. Unfortunately I also have mental health problems but cope,with help. But what she and my dad did teach me was to accept everyone for who they are and I am so grateful. I am lucky because I have a wonderful husband and 4 brilliant, grown up kids, two of whom are gay. All of them are very happy with their partners. It is heartbreaking reading Naz and Matt’s story, all so unnecessary. They were so happy, what more could a parent ask for?
Loads of love, kisses and hugs to all. XXXXXXX
