Agender Pride Day & More in Our Latest Newsletter!
Hi John —
May is #AAPIHeritageMonth, and in celebration, three staff members of the It Gets Better Project worked together on a piece honoring the intersections of their AAPINH and queer identities. They write:
As queer AAPINH people, there’s a certain relationship many of us have to the sidelines. Whether it’s conversations at family dinners or discussions around favorite queer movies, many of us don’t know quite where our lived experiences truly fit in. Reclaiming our space as queer and AAPINH is about finding a place in the conversation, even when it feels uncomfortable to speak up.
Wise words. Enjoy some highlights from our month below.
