British Asian LGBTI and Finding A Voice are proud to announce the first ever South Asian LGBTI Conference at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. We will present a range of speakers including the first openly gay Prince in India, a charity tackling religious homophobia, and a range of speakers who have a passion about highlighting issues which affect the South Asians LGBTQI+ Diaspora, breaking the silence about representation and visibility on the themes listed below. The event is open to South Asians, LGBTQI+ and Allies (those who do not identify as LGBTQI+ but support those who are). All are welcome!!

Our 18 SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

• KEYNOTE SPEAKER: PRINCE MANVENDRA SINGH (SKYPE)
  

• MATTHEW MAHMOOD-OGSTON, Naz and Matt Foundation

• PROFESSOR RUSI JASPAL, De Montfort University (DMU)
