MMM S2 Episode 8 - Queer & Muslim w Zuby from Healing Circle

January 08, 2023 • Jess & Yawen • Season 2 • Episode 8

What is it like being queer and a Muslim? We chat with Zuby, founder of the Healing Circle, an organisation in Singapore for queer Muslims that offers counselling and theoretical studies on the Quran. She candidly shares her coming out story (after 40 years of comphet), the backlash she has faced from her Muslim community, and advice for those who are struggling to reconcile their queerness with religion.
