Hoy día la lucha sigue. La lucha para asegurar que todos los estudiantes se sienten libres ser quienes son sin el miedo del acoso, violencia, chistes, chisme, o bullying. Cuando pienso que es posible que las escuelas donde se educa la próxima generación no sea un lugar donde los jóvenes se sientan seguros ni apoyados por los de la comunidad, sé que es nuestro trabajo cambiar eso, especialmente para los estudiantes LGBT silenciados y marginados.
Soy educador, y uno de mis responsabilidades es asegurar que mis estudiantes son seguros para que puedan aprender. Todos los educadores necesitan aprender a apoyar a nuestros estudiantes por crear ambientes libres de la discriminación, abuso emocional, y abuso físico porque tal vez la escuela o aún un salón de clase sea el único lugar seguro para el joven.
Según la encuesta de GLSEN más reciente National School Climate Survey, los estudiantes que identifican como LGBT no se sienten seguros en escuela todo el tiempo. Los datos muestran que todavía hay una falta de recursos y representaciones de las personas LGBT en el plan de estudios, y solo 50% de los encuestados reportan tener un club de GSA (Alianza Hetero-Gay) en las escuelas. Para los estudiantes LGBT o los que quizá tenga padres o madres que identifican como LGBT, es preciso que los educadores traten de ser aliados para hacer una diferencia para estos estudiantes y las comunidades enteras.

Years of planning, along with generous donations, and a ton of organizing by students like you helped us complete our campaign to send one to every middle and high school in the country.

While we know that school staff in many places have already used the tips and tools found in each kit, there are schools where these hidden gems would make all the difference in changing hearts, minds, and the overall school climate. We’re counting on student leaders, such as yourself, to find where in your school these kits are and advocate for their use. What good is a resource if it’s not being used, right?

Do you need ideas of where to look? We have a few ideas below to get you on the right path.

What are you waiting for? Shiver me timbers mate and get looking!

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)

Other Helpful/Informational Links:

Gender Identity and Sexual Identity in the Pacific and Hawai'i
10 South Asian LGBTQ Books That Changed My Life (an article by Priya Arora)
Wikipedia’s Timeline of Asian and Pacific Islander diasporic LGBT history
Kumu Hina (a documentary about the struggle to maintain Pacific Islander culture/values within modern Hawaiʻi, told through the lens of Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, a Native Hawaiian māhū [someone who embodies both a male and female spirit], and an honored and respected kumu [teacher], cultural practitioner, and community leader)
