Naz and Matt Foundation Information

We tackle homophobia triggered by religion & culture to help parents accept their children. Naz and Matt Foundation was set up in 2014 following the sad loss of Matt’s fiance, Naz, who took his own life two days after his deeply religious family confronted him about his sexuality. Naz and Matt Foundation exists to empower and support LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex) individuals, their friends and family to work towards resolving challenges linked to sexuality or gender identity, particularly where religion is heavily influencing the situation. By tackling the problem head on, raising awareness and mentoring Naz and Matt Foundation hopes to open the eyes of closed minds in communities and families so that they will love the children they gave birth to, for the individuals they were born to be. Our mission is to never to let religion, any religion, come in the way of the unconditional love between parents and their children.
