9th Annual LGBTQ+ Community Iftar

Theme: Joy and Resilience as Resistance 

Actively experiencing and expressing joy, even in the face of adversity, can be a powerful act of resistance against oppressive systems.

Now in its ninth year, the LGBTQ+ community iftar was founded to provide a safe and brave space for queer LGBTQ+ Muslims and allies to break fast during Ramadan with gender-neutral prayer, education, storytelling, culturally responsive entertainment, and delicious food.

An annual celebration of Ramadan, specifically a partaking of the meal commemorating the end of a day of fasting in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This event is held annually to uplift, hold a safe space for, and celebrate the intersections of identities and religious observation/practices found throughout the greater LGBTQ+ Muslim Communities. The event will feature iftar (a large shared meal signifying the breaking of fast), remarks and contributions from community partners, performances, resource sharing, and more. Open to the public.
