Got to see the Queer Japantown exhibit a few days ago and really enjoyed it! Covering many generations of history, it covers nightclub performers from the 1930s, early LGBTQ activism in the 1970s, joining Asian American events like the Cherry Blossom Parade in the 1990s, and today's activists and performers. It's often said that Asian Americans are not a monolith, and this is true not only between different communities, but also within them. Queer folks have always been part of the rich tapestry that makes up our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ The exhibit goes for one more week through June 25 at the National Japanese American Historical Society at 1684 Post Street in San Francisco!
