Something I shared on the panel tonight: "In my experience,
the stereotypes of being gay - the permission for extroverted
flamboyance and extraness - cancel out the stereotypes of
being Asian - being introverted, passive and meek. Similarly
the stereotypes of being Asian - being hardworking and
focused - cancel out the other stereotypes of being gay -
being flippant and insubstantial. Whereas Asians are
perceived as the workhorse, never the show horse, the
gaysian can be both. When I was just Asian I was invisible.
But when I was both proudly gay and Asian, I compelled
them to never ignore me."
Apparently this resonated with some people :
