Week 9 - Mimi Le

In Daniel Tsang's "Notes on Queer N' Asian Virtual Sex", he shines some light on BBS. An online operating for gay Asian members using it to display their sexualities and coming out as bisexual or gay.  It's interesting how as Asians, we're identified as "Others" in our ethnicity, it's degrading and there is an obvious racial hierarchy. When they have to hide themselves with their "online identities [that] may become more real than the physical one" (Tsang 119), it shows the repression that Asian experiences. Recently, those who break silence about their sexual identity and exploring their sexualities is being promoted to feel comfortable in their own skin. It's important to empower those around them and diminish the racial hierarchy in today's society.

Question: What kind of threats do Asian bisexuals/gay faces when coming out?
