Dear Attendees: Welcome to the first Southern gathering of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Asian Americans, South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders (API) in Georgia! You are participating in a historical event that will bring change to a community we all deeply care about. On behalf of the entire organizing committee we would like to deeply thank you for your support and presence here this weekend. Without your support, we have no team to carry forth our mission. Planning this conference has brought to light the issues that are specific to the Pacific Asian diaspora. On a daily basis, we experience situations and challenges that attack the core of our cultural beginnings. We are forced to overcome hurdles with family, religion, culture, and heritage. We are the torch bearers of the Asian/Pacific Islander LGBT population. Today you take on the struggle of equality and justice. This weekend will be full of knowledge and fun! We have scheduled an amazing set of sessions tailored to the API community in respect to LGBT issues. Don’t be afraid or shy to ask questions and learn more; our distinguished panelists are here to help you and answer your questions. Most of all, we must have fun! A weekend of fighting for justice is exciting an groundbreaking. So we encourage you to give people a smile in passing and make some new friends. You are in the presence of an amazing network of individuals ready to work together to make positive change! Sincerely, The Planning Committee Stan Fong, Asha Leong, Surinder Bal, Florence Tang, Alnory Regondola, Eddie Vo, Aparna Bhattacharyya, Sumon Ray, Lalita Balakrishnan, Prad, Jayden Thai, Glenn D.

We seek to build the organizational capacity of local LGBT AAPI groups, develop leadership, promote visibility, educate our community, enhance grassroots organizing, expand collaborations, and challenge homophobia and racism. NQAPIA is a project of the Tides Center in San Francisco, CA.
NQAPIA Current Programs Annual Training and Issue Briefing for Leaders of LGBT AAPI organizations This weekend long Summit focuses on networking, learning about current issues, sharing strategies, building local organizational infrastructure, and building national collaborative programs. In 2014, we are doing a series of Regional Summits.
National Conference
This conference brings together grassroots LGBT AAPI activists from across the nation. Prior national conferences were in Washington, DC in 2012 (350 attendees) and Seattle in 2009 (250 attendees). New York’s 2004 conference (400 attendees) helped lay the groundwork for NQAPIA’s initial convening. The next national conference will be in Chicago 2015.

Presenters: Oneida Chi, Network on Religion and Justice for API-LGBTQ People (NRJ) Jess Delegencia, Asian Pacific Islander Roundtable, Center for Gay and Lesbian Studies in Religion and Ministry
A Part, Yet Apart: LGBT South Asians Karaoke Room South Asians are the second largest Asian American group in most parts of the country. They are a part of, yet still apart from the larger LGBT and AAPI communities. Desis live at the intersection of nationalities and ethnicities (Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, Indo-Caribbeans, etc.), immigration and USborn citizens, religion (Christian, Hindu, Muslim), and income. Though the events after 9/11 created a broad sense of political awareness, for most South Asian progressive organizing reached much further back than then. In this workshop, representatives from South Asian queer organizations and allies will talk about past and on-going organizing campaigns, share challenges, and reflect on the most pressing issues facing queer South Asians today. Presenters: Lalita J. Balakrishnan, Aikya Sumon Ray, Aikya Faisal Alam, Al-Fatiha Deepali Gokhale, independent organizer for human rights and social justice
Trans* Caucus Mirror Room For those of us from the South, it is incredibly crucial that we have a safe space of our own where we can touch upon the cultural issues and personal history of being trans*/gender non-conforming and Asian and Pacific Islanders. Sharing out stories in a space that is specific to us is powerful. Our stories help shape change in our personal lives and the world at large. Facilitator: Jayden Thai, T*Star Lab @ University of Louisville

Workshop Session 2
Current Issues Facing AAPIs in the South Activities Space (First Floor) The South had the fastest Asian population growth in the US according to the latest Census. Immigrants in the South have experienced both increased political power and discrimination because of their growth. Georgia has been a hotbed on many regressive policies including Voter ID laws, anti-immigrant state legislation, and English-only policies. These policies also have had a negative impact on the AAPI LGBT community. Please join us for a discussion on the changing demographics of the Southeast, and how the new influx of immigrants has shaped local public policy and the dialogue around civil rights. Presenters: Helen Kim Ho, Asian American Legal Advocacy Center, Inc. (AALAC) Jeff Graham, Georgia Equality Victoria Huynh, Center for Pan-Asian Community Services

This session will bring an Intersectional analysis that examines legal, policy, and advocacy (Interdisciplinary) perspectives on immigration in a way that will engage participants in an Interactive way. Since the November 2012 elections, when AAPI and Latino communities voted in unprecedented numbers for pro-immigration reform candidates, immigration reform has remained a hot-button political issue. Heading into the 2014 midterm elections, the debate will only become more heated, and this session will break down various components of the complex issues around immigration. With an understanding that multiple identities such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and citizenship affect how we engage these issues, we employ an intersectional analysis

the collusion of sexism and racism. Asian men (cis and trans) have suffered from traditional gender roles through desexualization, exoticization, and hypersexualization. Media images have traditionally depicted Asian cis men as effeminate, submissive bottoms. But “sticky rice” – cis and trans Asian men who seek, love, and fool around with other Asian men – has been awakening. Before we can empower our communities, Asian men and trans folks need to reclaim sex and queers need to reclaim our bodies in all their shapes, sizes, and parts. We will have an open discussion about these issues and explore the possibility of “hands-on” practice or demonstration of ways to explore gay Asian sexuality and sexualization. Presenters: Glenn D. Magpantay, National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA)

LGBT AAPI Immigrants Rights: What’s at Stake for our Community? Second Floor Activities Space The South has the nation’s fastest growing Asian American, South Asian, and Southeast Asian populations, largely due to immigration. Yet the media largely portrays most immigrants as Latino, and sometimes Asians are painted as the “model minority immigrant.” Some in the LGBT community say that immigrants’ rights is not a “gay issue” notwithstanding that so many LGBTs are immigrants. We are foreign students, professional (H1B) and low-wage workers, asylum-seekers, greencard holders and undocumented. Speakers Ben de Guzman, NQAPIA
