NQAPIA Home
NQAPIA is a federation of LGBT Asian American, South Asian, Pacific Islander, and Southeast Asian organizations and allies.
The National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance is involved in several exciting initiatives, including:
- · Immigration: Check out our page on immigration and its impact on Asian American/ Pacific Islander communities!
- · Census: NQAPIA is one of the few organizations of color working on Census outreach to lesbian/ gay/ bisexual/ transgender communities. We are developing materials to educate our members on the Census.
- · “Queer Asian Compass”: Our Descriptive Directory of the 30+ AAPI LGBT organizations around the country is already making an impact on funders and policymakers. Click here for more information and to download a copy.
- · Transgress, Transform, Transcend: Check out photos and other information about our historic 2009 conference in Seattle.
*For the purpose of NQAPIA communications, ‘LGBTQ API’ includes any subgroup of LGBTQ and any subgroup of API. Also, we are defining Q as inclusive of all gender non-conforming identities. Gender non-conforming is a term for individuals whose gender expression is different from the societal expectations based on their assigned sex at birth – regardless of how that gender expression is manifested in an individual’s identity, presentation, sexuality/orientation, and/or intimate relationships.
