Islam and Homosexuality: Cultures in Collision September 24, 2012

The L.A Gay & Lesbian Center, in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles, presents the next in the Center’s series of free public discussions, Big Queer Convo. "Cultures in Collision: Islam & Homosexuality" will feature a discussion with Ani Zonneveld (songwriter, producer, activist) and Ipek İpekçioğlu (world-renowned Turkish/German lesbian DJ). İpekçioğlu and Zonneveld will examine the discrimination faced by LGBT Muslims, from both a U.S.-based and a worldwide perspective.

"Cultures in Collision: Islam & Homosexuality" will also include a live musical performance by Zonneveld, and İpekçioğlu will DJ during the post-event reception.
