Here is a nice article about the first Asian women in China who accept her gay son. Now she is trying to convince the rest of China to rethink what it means to love your children. Very touching story.
A gay Asian volunteer based internet group in Toronto that provide education, information and social support for our peers.
A little history:
We are a group of volunteers from ACAS (Asian Community AIDS Services). Studies showed that as internet becomes more accessible and the number of users increase, it becomes one of the major venues for Asian men to meet their sex partner. ACAS recognizes the enormous potential of the Internet as an information portal, a new education/ outreach program targeting Asian men who use internet chat rooms was introduced. It is now become iRice.org.
What we do:
Do weekly outreach/live counseling sessions in gay chat rooms on the internet (currently in the Gay.com Toronto Asian chat room most of the time) to develop outreach, education and support program targeting Asian MSM (AMSM) via the internet to provide referral info regarding HIV / AIDS / STIs transmissions and treatments, to provide harm reduction workshops on safe party tips, to provide peer support to AMSM on the issues of social dynamics and isolation, to create and increase positive images of Asians on-line, to provide more educational space for AMSM on-line.
