We’re super proud of one of our long term volunteers, Anish Kumar Pathak, for bravely sharing his story in this exciting new BBC One documentary – My Hindu Coming Out Story.
As part of his healing journey Anish goes to a local temple, explores his cultural identity and revisits his secondary school in Ilford to meet with his old teachers and talk to students.
We are delighted that our monthly support group is mentioned in the film, along with our visit to Anish’s school to introduce his talk to the students on the day.
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.
