Jahed and Sean married each other in Walsall, UK last month. Jahed is Muslim and Sean is not but they both wore traditional Islamic dress for the ceremony.
Growing up, Jahed says he felt like an outsider because many people did not accept he was gay and he was told it was just "a phase". Some people told jahed he couldn;t be both Muslim and gay. However everything changed when Jahed met Sean. The couple have been together for five years and now say they want to show the world you can be Muslim and gay.
Jahed says his family have been supportive, especially his Mum. He says, "Now I'm happy, I'm out and proud"
