LGBT Story Project
Free writing part 3
Story: I am not the best person to tell people’s stories, I should let people tell their own stories. One idea is to let people who can really tell their stories do their own work. I want to organize TED events specifically for LGBT people. This is to inspire people by people’s stories. I want to do this. and this makes me feel burning. Where should I put this.? virtual or physical. I should organize a public speaking to let people present their stories. Second, I need a library. I need a resource cloud , there are so much I want to put up there. But think realistically, something I really can put up there are probably things coming from activism. And research. And media content. Third, I need a university course, and a special , excellent program on LGBT issues. In Asia, only Thailand offers study programs on LGBT issues and also Taiwan. This is a big gap. We need people to convey the knowledge, we need people to start working on these knowledge now and discuss them, and hone them. It is definitely needed. Clinics. Private clinics or friendly clinics for LGBT people. People everywhere complain about the disease the embarrassment of seeing a doctor. For STD and sexual intercourse related issues. You know, even myself face this challenge, I have a hard time to find a good place where I can take test, get treatment, and feeling comfortable of going. Language barrier. English is the probably the most commonly used language for these people. But for people who don’t speak English or who haven’t achieved the best level of English fluency, what should we do? We should mobilize more people to work on the translation part, to have all the movies dubbed, articles translated., and website connected. So how about Family acceptance and family values are two major things connecting to every LGBT person in Asia. It is really common for people to refer to gay parents relationship. We should first encourage the spread of PFLG since more people find PFLAG is a good way to go. But another approach, is to build strong gay and straight ally. There are multiple reasons why we need that. We first definitely need more people to our sides. Second, who would LGBT consider the most? Family and then close friends. It makes no sense if people care about complete strangers’ attitude about LGBT life and rights. That’s not their business. we should let people around LGBT people start really understanding, accepting, and supporting LGBT friends. If they are true believers in LGBT rights, then it is important to and easier for the future development. Cities, is probably where we want to start. Usually, people will think to expand their work coverage to rural places. I don’t deny the importance of caring about rural places and LGBT people who live there. But actually, I think cities will become a breakthrough. Considering revolution in China, The CCP used the rural envelopes cities, but in the case of LGBT movement, it is unlikely a successfully case. I may need to think more about this. People lack of information. there are different sides to it. first the new and cool knowledge pumped into the internet is not enough. They are not updated. We need fresh knowledge. Then, we need a better channel to let people get it. when we produce information, they cam come from various forms. But how can we use them as needs specific knowledge. It could be we need more professional people to analyze information, cut them into pieces, cook them, and feed into different customers.
