Tying to a Mission

Part of the goal of this blog and for many of my activities within the gay Asian community is to develop a support system and safe, social environments. To that end, I've been approached by a group trying to interview gay Asian Pacific Islanders (API) in Chicago to better understand their health-care needs. Here's a flyer.

Yours in Good Health,

Raising Funds

Fundraisers can be a pain, but if planned far enough in advance and with enough people behind the cause, it can be a joy--and fun. So in the spirit of putting the fun back in fundraiser, here's "No Business Like Monkey Business," a Loony Lunar Musical Review to benefit Asians & Friends Chicago and its efforts to mount IFCON 2016 in the Windy City over Labor Day. It'll be Sunday, May 22, 2016, at 1 p.m. at Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted in Chicago. $20 gets you a free drink. See you there!

Engineering Brotherhood

When I typed in "gay Asian brotherhood" into Google Images, I got this photo. It was a GAM-TV showing that I organized. Needless to say, the discussion of developing a "brotherhood" is underdeveloped. It's something that occurs naturally among those who speak their native languages, but not so much among those who don't or don't identify with their Asian roots.

Why? I think that's a valid question. Something to develop.

Yours in discussion,

Angel Bright
