Salaams
I have been commissioned to write a short article for the USA webzine
Muslim Wake Up, on Gay Muslims in the UK. Provisionally entitled, 'Be
Careful Out Among Them English: Gay Muslim in London,' it’s a brief
exploration of shifting attitudes and current issues. The starting point
will probably be research carried out by Andrew Yip:
Andrew Yip (2004) Negotiating space with family and kin in identity
construction: the narratives of British non-heterosexual Muslims, in
'The Sociological Review' 52:3 p.336-350
I'll also be looking at the work done by the Safra and Naz Projects.
Any input, ideas, thoughts etc would be more than welcome.
