This year, we want to make sure it’s absolutely clear: Ally Week is about learning to be better allies and recruiting more folks to step up to the plate. Whether you’re a lesbian adult working to make schools safer for today’s youth, or a gay student organizing to create safe spaces for your trans* friends, everyone has an opportunity this week to recognize their allyship and take action to become better at it.

The Gay-Straight Alliance at my school is preparing for GLSEN’s Ally Week, which starts on Monday. We made a video to introduce the week to the rest of the school. I’m quite proud of it, so I thought I’d share it - also features an appearance by yours truly, so enjoy and spread it around!

Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Resources

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!

GLSEN Pages:

Other organizations:

APIQWTC (Asian & Pacific Islander Queer Women and Transgender Coalition), which provides opportunities for Asian & Pacific Islander queer women and transgender people to socialize, network, build community, engage in inter-generational organizing, and increase community visibility
NQAPIA (National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance), a network of Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander LGBTQ organizations
Asian Pacific Islander Resource Kit by GLAAD (also links to other resources)

Historical information from the US National Park Service:

Some LGBTQ+ Asian/Pacific Islander Creators:

Jean Melesaine (queer, Sāmoan, artist, documentary photographer, and one of the founding members of One Love Oceania)
Ingrid Nilsen (half-Thai, lesbian, beauty vlogger and internet personality)
Kit Yan (trans/queer, Chinese-Hawaiian, playwright, poet, performer, and lyricist)
Chrysanthemum Tran (trans/queer, Vietnamese American poet, performer and teaching artist)
Chella Man (deaf, Jewish-Chinese, genderqueer, artist)
Patrick G. Lee (queer, Korean-American, journalist and filmmaker)
Pati Solomona Tyrell (queer, Sāmoan, artist/photographer based in Tāmaki Makaurau)
