Reclaiming the Rainbow

Join Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, CEO of the Sapience Institute, for a thought‑provoking webinar exploring the Islamic response to LGBTQ+ ideology. Hamza will unpack five foundational assumptions that underpin modern LGBTQ+ ideology—assumptions he argues are both false and immoral—and offer a coherent Islamic critique.

What You’ll Learn

• Five core assumptions often presented as unquestionable truths
• Islam’s coherent perspective contrasting these assumptions
• Key responses to common objections
