"Channel 4 has aired a landmark documentary investigating the lives of Muslim drag queens, who face unrelenting prejudice as members of the UK's Gay Asian, or 'Gaysian' community.
Last night, millions of Channel 4 viewers met 33 year-old Asifa Lahore, who is unquestionably a devout Muslim, "I fast, I pray, I believe in one god, I give to charity, I've been on pilgrimage". For many Muslims, however, Asifa's religion is irreconcilable with an equally important part of his identity: he is also the first 'out and proud' gay Muslim drag queen."
