WBAI Radio: Queering Asian America: a Pride Month Roundtable. June 17, 2013. More than ever before, a growing number of LGBT APIs - that’s lesbian gay bisexual transgender Asian Pacific Islanders - are out and proud. In honor of LGBT pride month, we begin tonight’s hour with a special roundtable with leaders and members of various LGBT API organizations in New York City. We’ll be speaking with them about their struggle to simultaneously challenge racism and homophobia, as well as the unique perspectives and voices that LGBT APIs bring to the national discussion on LGBT issues, such as anti-gay hate violence and marriage equality.
