Description

Dr. Nasser Mohamed became the first Qatari to come out as gay during an interview with BBC World last year ahead of the World Cup. Since then, the S.F. primary care physician has connected with hundreds of other LGBTQ people in Qatar where homosexuality is persecuted. Mohamed was elected to serve as a Grand Marshall in this year's SF Pride Parade and joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about his activism and finding a queer Middle Eastern community in San Francisco. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
