Subhi fled from Syria to Turkey due to threats from ISIS and co-founded the first underground Syrian LGBTQ magazine, “Mawaleh”. Subhi was named a 2015 "Out100" by OUT Magazine and will be one of the 2016 NYC Pride Grand Marshals. He made history by addressing the first ever LGBTIQ meeting of the United Nations Security Council last year. Subhi was also recently a GMCLA Voice Awards honoree and today he continues giving his empowered voice on behalf of those who have been disenfranchised, forgotten & silenced.

 

OutRight Action International, is a leading international organization dedicated to human rights advocacy on behalf of people who experience discrimination or abuse on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The NYC Engagement Committee builds local support and awareness of OutRight and it’s global work.
