Some questions about experiences
1. Are any of you "out" to your family? What were their reactions? Or do you try to keep things on the down low as much as possible?
2. Is there a queer community where you live? Is it an ethnic one? Do you feel you fit in?
any comments would be cool :) |

guys, i know this is not essentially an adding community and i (will be a little heartbroken but) won't complain if the moderators choose to delete this post, but i'm more or less new to LJ and would like to read and interact with people writing about queer issues on a day-to-day basis, in personal life, as well as socially/academically. well, as short and sweet as that.
( what i'm looking for, and most importantly, what i'm NOT )
will be looking forward to the responses! (or hoping that the post doesn't get banned in the first place. heh!)

 Asians are considered racial minorities, but there is very little effort to include their people, customs, and or specific issues within the context of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Community. They are overshadowed by other races and rarely taken into account.

The Origins of "Sodomy" Laws in British Colonialism, from Human Rights Watch
via SAJAforum This 66-page report describes how laws in over three dozen countries, from India to Uganda and from Nigeria to Papua New Guinea, derive from a single law on homosexual conduct that British colonial rulers imposed on India in 1860. This year, the High Court in Delhi ended hearings in a years-long case seeking to decriminalize homosexual conduct there. A ruling in the landmark case is expected soon. cross-posted to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) southasianwomen and postqueer

The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition is pleased to announce the release of its 2008 GENIUS Survey in partnership with Ernst & Young. GenderPAC works to ensure that classrooms, communities and workplaces are safe for everyone to learn, grow and succeed. The Gender Equality National Index for Universities & Schools (GENIUS), GenderPAC’s most recent effort to end discrimination and promote awareness, encourages colleges and universities to recognize the benefits of a GenderSAFEtm campus - supportive equitable and protective for all students. Choosing to participate in GENUIS sends a strong public statement that bullying or discriminating based on the race, sex or gender of a student, faculty, or staff member is not tolerated at your institution Fill out the survey at: www.gpac.org/GENIUS2008survey, and make sure that we have data for as many schools as possible. Your voice will help us continue to work towards a safe and welcoming environment for every student. While we greatly appreciate the interest taken in GENIUS by students, staff and faculty at academic institutions outside of the United States, at this time GENIUS is only able to track schools based in the United States.
