Part 1: Queer Asian American Activism
We’re closing June by taking a look at a few queer Asian American trailblazers that were influential in the LGBTQ+ community.
The stories of queer Asian American folks were rarely, if at all, recorded or discussed, by American historians; for Asian Americans, it’s important to understand the lives and advocacy of these individuals and see the queer representation in our community that we may not have been aware of previously.
