Gay and Asian: Panel Discussion

• Discrimination in dating
• Common stereotypes and microaggressions  
• Fetishization 
• Challenges of visibility
• Media representation: then and now 
• Code-switching 
• The diversity within the Asian community
• Having a sense of pride in one’s cultural heritage
• Hierarchies that exist within minority communities 
• Allyship within the LGBTQ+ community

Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking dialogue, we are looking at celebrating intersecting identities and the quest for acceptance and belonging.
