Wouldn’t it be amazing to have Asian American parents who love their LGBT kids say that… on television… in Tagalog? In June, tune in to your local Asian Television station, and see for yourselves!
NQAPIA and the Asian Pride Project collaborated to develop a series of multilingual public service announcements (PSA)—short, beautiful videos of Asian American, South Asian, and Southeast Asian parents who love their lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) children.
Throughout the LGBT Pride Month, we are also releasing videos featuring other Asian, South Asian, and Southeast Asian parents of gay men, lesbian daughters, transgender, and genderqueer kids. Our goals are to diversify the faces of parents who have LGBT kids and to promote understanding and acceptance.
“Family is Still Family, Love is Still Love”
NQAPIA and parents developed a series of one-page, translated leaflets for parents who have LGBT kids. The multilingual leaflets answer basic questions about being LGBT and dispel common misperceptions. They are in nineteen (19) Asian languages and scripts—the largest number of languages ever translated from a single LGBT document.
National LGBT AAPI Conference
LGBT AAPIs across the country will come together for our National Conference in Chicago from August 6 to 9 to network, organize, agitate, educate, and build capacity of the nation’s LGBT AAPI community. Join the parents, their children, and activists around the country to come together and build community, solidarity, and our movement for social and cultural change.
Help build a better world for all LGBT Asian Americans, South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders! We hope to see you at the 2015 National Conference!
