The “You Don’t Love Me Podcast” is life from the perspective of a gay South Asian couple – husband and husband team Amir and Aamir.
I first met them both after seeing an online interview with Amir and Aamir during Pride in London. We were just wrapping up filming of our Foundation’s new documentary My God, I’m Queer and so I reached out to them to see if they’d emerge in our film. They said yes and soon became an important part of the project.
Shortly after they got in stroke to invite me on to their podcast to talk about Naz, our Foundation and the perform that we do…

Israel: Amir Ohana becomes first openly gay minister
Knesset
The first openly gay man to become a minister in Israel has been appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Amir Ohana, of Mr Netanyahu's Likud party, was named as acting justice minister following the sacking of the previous office holder.
