APAP Calendar

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.

I am reposting a blog entry here from my friend Kelly Cuvar, who is a grassroots activist for health care. She has organized several events in NYC with members of APA for Progress.

Kelly is also trying to maintain continuous insurance coverage in Brooklyn, NY.

A very long month ago, I woke up in my sunny Brooklyn apartment with this thought:  I am going to die.

The next thought was no less comforting:  I am dying.
