"Hidden Voices: The Lives of LGBT Muslims" aims to highlight the many struggles and challenges facing sexual and gender minorities within the Muslim world and to examine the complex intersection of Islam, sexuality and gender. 

Faisal Alam is a queer-identified Muslim activist of Pakistani descent and the founder and former director of Al-Fatiha, an organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex & questioning (LGBTIQ) Muslims, and their allies.  Faisal has traveled across the country and around the world to meet with LGBTIQ Muslims to build a global queer Muslim movement. 

Using his own life experience and by exploring the complex history of the Islamic world, Faisal strives to bring new light onto the lives of an often invisible and silent community: Muslims who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning.

 "Hidden Voices" is a 2 hour interactive presentation incorporating video clips and a slide show, followed by Q & A and discussion.

New Content for 2010 includes:
      • A day in the life of an LGBT Muslim in Saudia Arabia, Pakistan & Indonesia
      • Verses in the Quran that are commonly used to justify the condemnation of LGBT people
      • Overview and history of sodomy laws in the Muslim world
