RESOURCES ON COMING OUT
www.qaspace.apiequalityla.org/resources/coming-out/
Q & A Space began as a story collection project during Hertz Alegrio's and Shelly Chen's internship at API Equality-LA in the summer of 2012. Since then, in an effort to create more accessible, culturally relevant resources for the Asian Pacific Islander (API) LGBT community (especially youth), API Equality-LA have been working to develop the project into this “Coming Out Website” specifically designed for those who identify as API and LGBT. Q&A Space is the first website of its kind, with in-language fact sheets for parents, community resources for youth, multi-media advice and stories from the API LGBT community, and more.

Coming Out, Coming Home was first distributed in 1996 to help API families with LGBT members in their coming out process and respecting the privacy of each home. The film features interviews with API parents and their LGBT children who relate their struggles with acceptance and coming out.
This project is to update the film to better reflect the sexual, gender, and ethnic diversity of today's Asian-American community. The update will feature families with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning children from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, South Asian, and Vietnamese families.
