5: Matt Mahmood-Ogston: The Real Life Cost of Homophobia

When Naz told his family he was gay, he didn’t receive the reaction he was hoping for. Days later, when they rejected his honesty, Naz took his own life. It’s a decision that will forever be marked on his partner, Matt Mahmood-Ogston’s heart forever. Now Matt runs the Naz and Matt Foundation, dedicated to show others to never let religion come in the way of the unconditional love between parents and their children. Instead of anger - he sees the opportunity in homophobia, and focuses on educating those who are misinformed or fearful of what being LGBTQ+ means. Matt’s Fuck It Moments Podcast episode is a story of love, of heartbreak and a lesson in how we can all choose to make a difference in our communities. And ponders the question of whether it’s really possible to love again when your soul mate isn’t by your side anymore. During this interview with host Clare Freeman, Matt barely scratches the surface on the amazing things he’s doing.
