Reclaiming Asian identities and narratives for the next generation.

How many pride reading lists is too many pride rea

How many pride reading lists is too many pride reading lists? In this post, we have compiled our favourite works of contemporary queer literature from Asia, some of which deserve a lot more acclaim than they already have. These have survived generations of societal, political and internal turmoil, and narrate powerful tales of resistance which remain relevant even in a world as "progressive" as ours.

For our third post of the 2022 Pride Month, we have compiled a list of six out Asian athletes from both the past and the present, who have made history in their respective fields, while successfully battling discrimination towards their queer identities. They have become role models to every closeted Asian kid terrified to approach the world of sports due to the prejudices associated with it.

Welcome to our second pride month post! In this po

Welcome to our second pride month post! In this post, we’re unpacking our preconceived notions of gender, and where they might’ve come from. We’ll also look at how a few AAPI cultures defy them. Decolonization is a vital part of empowering LGBTQIA+ and AAPI youth, because it forces us to take a good, close look at what we think is true. When we analyze these realities, we can start to take apart the roots of systemic injustice that hurts our communities. Pride is not only about celebration, but about resisting the status quo, and widening our scope of mind!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! As we approach the second week

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

As we approach the second week of Pride Month, NGA would like to share a tentative schedule of our activities. While we celebrate Pride Month over the course of June, keep in mind that these efforts should also extend outside of just Pride Month itself. Throughout June, learn more about the history, the complexities, and how you can celebrate the significance of Pride Month!

For our fifth and final post of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are spotlighting the contemporary Kashmiri poet Agha Shahid Ali (1949-2001), who was a notable figure of the literary movement known as New Formalism in American poetry. His intersectional identity as a a gay Muslim man born in Delhi, brought up in Kashmir, who later moved to America, factors heavily in his poems which makes them more raw and captivating. If the works mentioned here interest you, do check out some of his books which are available on Amazon or his poetry archives on Twitter (@/AghaShaahidAli).

For our fourth post of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are spotlighting the legacy of radical civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama, who spent a lifetime fighting racism and hatred in the United States. While her politics — including her Maoist beliefs — are much debated till date, there is widespread admiration for the bridges that she built between races, generations, and nations.

She is quickly becoming a global sensation, whose music fuses ancient Sufi traditions with jazz, folk, and minimalism- even Barak Obama is one of her listeners.
