LGBT American people of Asian descent (Wikipedia)

As of 2013 Wikipedia has six lesbians and four transgender or transexual Asian Americans on their LGBT American people of Asian descent page.

A little challenge to anyone reading this is to create a wikipedia page for someone you know who should be on this list. Please give us an email when it’s up and we’ll announce your hard work!! Visibility is an ongoing fight.

Communities United Against Violence (CUAV)

Founded in 1979, CUAV works to build the power of LGBTQQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) communities to transform violence and oppression. We support the healing and leadership of those impacted by abuse and mobilize our broader communities to replace cycles of trauma with cycles of safety and liberation. As part of the larger social justice movement, CUAV works to create truly safe communities where everyone can thrive.
