In this episode, Saif Ahmed shares his story of growing up as a gay, Arab, Muslim man — and how he went from fleeing Iraq as a child to helping shape the UK’s Equality Act.

Saif talks honestly about leaving Iraq during the war, spending his childhood in Dubai, coming to the UK as a teenager, and trying to work out who he was in a culture that didn’t always accept him. He opens up about what it was like to come out to his family, survive homophobia and violence at school, and why language matters when we talk about equality, masculinity and privilege.

This is an honest look at identity, community, activism and what it really takes to fight for rights when the system — and sometimes your own people — push back.
