TIGER: A Sustainable Model for Building LGBTQ AAPI Community
This presentation, based on an article by Prof. Glenn Magapantay, studies local LGBTQ AAPI organizations over the past twenty years. It reveals the constituent elements that have allowed them to survive and thrive. While they continue to face internal challenges in building their organizations, the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA), a federation of LGBTQ AAPI organizations, has helped them expand their capacity and longevity. A sustainable model of infrastructure that builds local LGBTQ AAPI community is needed. That sustainable model is where organizations balance the social and, political, as well as peer-support and educational programming. Prof. Magpantay dubs this practical theory a “TIGER Analysis” or “Typography of Intersectional Gender and Sexual Empowerment and Resistance.”
