A Chinese opera singer who is a physician and an AIDS activist. These are some of the gay men you will meet in this series of candid interviews with members of Gay Asians Toronto.Why this book? To give voice to one component of gay society; to provide stories that can help other gay Asians deal with their sexuality; to inform broader communities (gay, lesbian, Asian, straight, international) about the gay Asian experience in North America; and to examine racism and homophobia from the perspective of gay Asians.
