Organization - gender, sexuality and anti-racism

Primary Ethnic Community Served:
pan-Asian (all ethnicities - East, SouthEast, South Asian etc.)

Description:
We are a progressive coalition of queer and straight students, faculty and staff of pan-Asian heritage at UT Austin.

We are committed to ending racism and gender-based prejudice (sexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia) on campus with a focus on our diverse Asian-origin communities here. We also strive to build coalitions with other people of color and progressive groups in town.

Our activities include book- and film-discussions, workshops and confidential support groups for lesbigay students. We also act as a resource for individuals who have questions about issues surrounding sexuality and Asian cultures. One of our ongoing projects is the online list of Asian queer-friendly counselors . Additionally, we organize poetry/performance art and music events, principal among them being Rest of The Rainbow, which showcases performances by artists in our local communities of color.
