Saturday, October 11th, 2 - 4pm ? Truth and Consequences: The Impact of API Lesbian and Bisexual Women in the LGBT Movement
Surina Khan, former Executive Director of the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC)
The US LGBT movement continues to be dominated and lead primarily by well-intentioned middle-class, middle-aged, white people. What are the implications of a people of color led movement that meaningfully integrates youth and working class people? How can we work within the limits of non-profit structures to change the frameworks that allow out API lesbians and bisexual women to take leadership roles in the movement and be supported in those leadership positions? Surina Khan, a longtime activist and leader in the LGBT movement will lead a discussion that will help surface and delve deeper into some of these questions and raise other questions that relate to the experiences of API lesbians and bisexual women.
