Alam will discuss human rights and Islamic Shariah law as well as his personal story.

"He's very comfortable talking about his personal story, his background of growing up in a Pakistani community with the added dimension of being gay," Pena said.

Alam is the founder and former director of Al-Fatiha.

Al-Fatiha is an organization dedicated to support, empowerment and advocacy for Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender (LBGT) Muslims.

He is also the youngest member of the National Religious Leadership Roundtable, a religious LBGT networking organization.
