Alain is the author of this just-released national survey [1] of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.

Almost all the respondents reported experiencing discrimination or harassment, which sadly does not seem surprising. Most agreed that Asian Americans experience racism within the LGBT community, which is predominantly white. One of the most interesting findings is that media representations (how APIs and queer APIs are portrayed, if at all, in the media) is a top concern of the respondants.
