[Wamvan] Interviewees needed for Xtra West feature on gay Asian Cdns facing discrimination

[Beth Hong]

Hey WAM!ers!

I'm writing a story for Xtra West
<http://www.xtra.ca/public/Vancouver.aspx>on gay Asian Canadians who
face 'double discrimination' of racism and
homophobia, in light of a study released this week from
UBC<http://www.publicaffairs.ubc.ca/2012/03/28/asian-canadian-lgb-teens-face-greater-health-risks-as-dual-minorities-ubc-research/>
.

If you know any gay Asian Canadians who identify as women, and have
struggled with self-harm, drug/alcohol/substance abuse or severe depression
as a result of homophobia and/or racism in school, please forward them my
contact information: beth.hong at gmail.com or 604.314.5462. My goal is to
give a holistic picture of this experience (not simply another victim
narrative).

My deadline is Tues night at the very latest, so don't hesitate to get in
touch with me ASAP!
