Saturday, December 13th, 2 - 4pm ? Past and Present: The Queer API Movement in Los Angeles
Eric Wat, Author of The Making of a Gay Asian Community
How do we now identify as queer and API without understanding the development of these identities and community? Explore with Eric Wat and a selected panel the unique and complex history of queer APIs in Los Angeles by looking at the existence of a racialized hierarchy of desire and racial exclusion from the mainstream gay community that roots back into the 1980s and beyond.
Open to all Queer and Questioning Asian Pacific Islanders.
'Ohana House, established by Asian Pacific Islanders for Human Rights (APIHR), the nation's first API LGBTIQ center. APIHR works to advance the human rights of the Pan Asian/ Pacific Islander lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexual, queer and questioning (LGBTIQ) community.
