AAPI SPECIFIC RESOURCES
The National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA)
NQAPIA promotes acceptance of LGBT people, and our rights and dignity, amongst Asian Americans, South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). NQAPIA offers a series of one-page, translated leaflets for parents who have LGBT kids. The multilingual leaflets answer basic questions about being LGBT and dispel common misperceptions. They are in nineteen (19) Asian languages and scripts—the largest number of languages ever translated from a single LGBT document.
In addition, you can watch and share short, multilingual videos of AAPI parents who support their LGBTQ children--available in nine languages HERE.
Hosts virtual support groups for parents, family and friends of LGBTQ+ folks. Register for an upcoming group here.
This website offers a wealth of resources including links to AAPI LGBTQ+ supportive organizations, information links in multiple languages, personal stories of AAPI LGBTQ+ people and parents, and how to sign up for their monthly, virtual support meetings.
Curated Resources from API Equality LA
API Equality-LA and API Equality-Northern California partnered with Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy to collect research on Asian Pacific Islander (API) views on same-sex marriage and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The snapshot reports of this research on four ethnic groups are presented here.
This report analyzes several data sources to provide information on adults who self-identify as AAPI and LGBT in the U.S. and by region, including separate findings on Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. It focuses on demographic characteristics and several key domains of well-being, including mental health, physical health, economic health, and social and cultural experiences.
