LGBT/Pride Week

June is LGBT pride month. We have a variety of queer AAPI's, friends, families and allies posting about their experiences. Thanks to Be DeGuzman, one of APAP's 2009 Unsung Heroes, for coordinating this special week of posts.

To help with our upcoming hate crimes/Vincent Chin week (June 21) or Pacific Islander week (Aug), please let us know. If you have a topic you or your agency would like to coordinate, email us.

How Democrats will lose their message wars

Tue, 02/02/2010 - 07:18

If you haven't yet read The Political Brain by Drew Westen, you should. It's a book, based on well-established psychological principles, on how the Democrats consistently lose the messaging wars with Republicans. In a nutshell, the book argues that Dems constantly frame their arguments in dry, coldly rational policy language while Reps use evocative, emotion-laden terms designed to prime their audience's brains.

National Equality March, Events, and Obama's Address on LGBT Rights

See video

The last time us gays marched on Washington was the semi-disastrous march in 2000 organized by the HRC. Before that was the 1993 march when I was 12. This year and this march was our time; the newly dubbed "prop 8" generation. This year's march was not without controversy with internal naysayers and questioners all the way to the top including Barney Frank.
