Queer Asian & Asian American Survey

*Please forward*

Asian American LGBT Survey

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is conducting the largest study
ever of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Asian and Pacific Islande
Americans. (That's LGBT APIs for short.) They are looking for 500 folks
to complete the online survey. It's confidential, anonymous, and
available in four languages: English, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese.

"The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Asian-American community is
under-served, under-researched and under-studied. Its members are caught
in the margins," said Alain Dang, Task Force Policy analyst and the
study's lead researcher. "We need to better understand the experience of
this diverse part of our community. The findings of this study will help
us to include the voices of the LGBT Asian-American community at all
levels of discussion."

So, why participate in this survey? Well, for one, it helps determine
what people's collective experiences have been, particularly with
harassment and violence related to sexual orientation, gender identity,
or ethnic heritage. And the more data they have, the more sold info they
have to show what kind of problems exist that need to be addressed, and
to advocate for change.

Sound good to you? Take the survey here.
