More than a dozen men and women of different Asian backgrounds speak frankly about their lives as members of a minority within a minority. They speak about coming out, homophobia, racism, cultural identity and the ways that being gay and Asian have shaped who they are. Active in Canadian Lesbian and Gay organizations, the Asian community, the women's movement, unions, the arts and human rights work, their commitment and outspokenness challenge the stereotype of passive Asians.
