Gay Asian & Pacific Islander Men of New York
Gay Asian & Pacific Islander Men of New York (GAPIMNY) is an all-volunteer run organization that provides a range of social, educational, and cultural programming for GBT people who are Asian and/or Pacific Islander in the New York City metropolitan area to support each other.
== History ==
After the retreats in May 1988 and October 1988 that gathered together Asian and Pacific Islander (API) gay men, Don Kao, John Chin, and John Manzon decided to start organizing in New York City. In March 1990, an API-facilitated workshop around racism sponsored by Men of All Colors Together generated interest to start Gay Asian & Pacific Islander Men of New York.〔http://www.nqapia.org/wpp/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/NQAPIA-Queer-Asian-Compass-Report.pdf〕 The organization made its public debut at the 1990 Lesbian and Gay Heritage of Pride Parade.
In 1991, the leaders of GAPIMNY, alongside the Asian Lesbians of the East Coast (ALOEC), protested against Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund's and the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center’s use of ''Miss Saigon'' in their fundraisers. The protesters expressed anger over the way Asian men and women were portrayed in ''Miss Saigon'' and demanded to be recognized as part of the LGBT community. Yoko Yoshikawa wrote on behalf of The Heat Is On Miss Saigon Coalition that they were outraged by the way that it perpetuated the idea that Asian women were self-erasing and Asian men were contemptible. When Lambda Legal refused to drop the fundraiser, the coalition staged demonstrations on April 6 and 11, 1991. Yoko observed that six men were arrested.
The organization took a few years to establish organizational infrastructure. In 1995, by-laws were put into effect, the first official steering committee meeting took place, and an information phone line was established. In the following years, GAPIMNY hosted workshops on topics related to the community as a way to outreach and raise awareness. In 1996, GAPIMNY established an online presence through leftnet.edu. In the same year the logo of interlocking male symbols within an apple was created. In 1997, organizers created DynasTea, which became a signature event of the organization through 2006.〔(Zenfolio of The Web )〕 In 2000, the organization established its own web domain with hosting through queernet.〔(Queernet )〕 It also launched a newsmagazine called PersuAsian that was funded with a grant from the Gill Foundation. GAPIMNY received recognition when it was honored by Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields and City Council member Alan Gerson at "A Celebration of GLBT Pride" in 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GAPIMNY )〕
