As an asian gay. It's always weird to see those overarching comments made about gay legacies and how 'we wouldn't have come this far without *insert western person*' dominate spaces during lgbt+ history month, or even just lgbt+ conversations and discussions in general.

Im not like, trying to be mean about it. but it is weird to see. I can understand that the reason behind it is the push of western topics as "global topics". global news isn't global its just western is smth that's true for most online sns discussions.

But yeah, i wish there were more things about asian gays. about Asian art made by LGBT+. about asian LGBT+ content in general. and about LGBT+ history, about groundbreaking actions of asian LGBT+ people in modern days.

#lgbt+#i might make a thread for myself at some point with all the things asian gays have done #and asian lgbt+ history #and asian lgbt+ art #lgbtq #this post is brought to you by my annoyance at my university's effort to be inclusive but failing cus the gay society at my uni focused on #only the west #like bro this uni has a huge number of asians #you're telling me you couldn't organise a single event during lgbt history month that focused on asian gays?#moonbeam thoughts
