Featured on Gay Times 'LGBTQ+ Muslims on finding queer joy'

Mufseen was featured by Gay Times magazine providing commentary on Eid celebrations for Queer Muslims:

“Mufseen Miah is an LGBTQ+ activist and podcast host at Queer Talk. Miah likens Eid to a moment “about family” and finds joy in the ability to just “be together”. The 31-year-old has a mixed relationship with his family and no longer spends the day with his family. However, he remains hopeful to heal and, instead, “would love nothing more than a queer Iftar with other LGBTQ+ folks”. The Queer Talk podcast host empathises with the inability to find a lot of visible queer joy in the Muslim LGBTQ+ community. We don’t hear about queer Muslims enjoying Eid because that enjoyment isn’t handed to us on a plate, instead, we have to find joy through hard experience and confidence and from the relatives and chosen family we surround ourselves with,” he explains. “It’s so important to celebrate genuine queer South Asian joy because in this country it’s not as commonplace as I’d like to see and it should be cherished wherever it’s found.”
