The Importance of API LGBT Visibility

Fri, 06/04/2010 - 10:06

For this entire week, a fabulous group of LGBT and allied guest bloggers have recognized the transition from May as AAPI Heritage Month to June as LGBT (lesbian/ gay/ bisexual/ transgender) Pride Month.  These blog postings represent some of the leading voices in any of our communities and we’re proud to bring them to you.  The National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA) is glad to work with Asian Pacific Americans for Progress on this and is committed to continued partnership on issues that affect us all.

Hemmed in by two freeways, an oil-storage facility and train tracks, North Long Beach, Calif., is not that kind of neighborhood. People didn’t speculate on homes here; they bought them to live in. (Imagine that).
