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.

Marking June 4 and the Tianamen Square Protests

Every June 4, my dad says, "Today is June 4. Do you know what happened?" Yes, I remember very vividly what happened 20 years ago in Tianamen Square in Beijing, China.  I have memories of people who looked a lot like me in the streets protesting the lack of democratic elections. It was the first time I'd seen Chinese people engage in civil disobedience, and I remember when the tanks began to roll, I felt a heavy sense of injustice... and inspiration.
