"Homosexuality In India–The Invisible Conflict."〕 Several metropolitan areas in North America aside from the San Francisco Bay Area also have organizations named "Trikone" (such as (Trikone Northwest ) and Trikone Michigan), which have similar missions.〔Jeung, Russell. "RELIGIOUS IDENTITY AND MARGINALIZATION." Encyclopedia of Asian American Issues Today 1 (2010): 457.〕 ==History and activities== The organization was co-founded in 1986 by Arvind Kumar and Suvir Das with the name "Trikon" and the first newsletter was published with that name in January 1986. (The name was later changed to "Trikone" due to a name conflict with an unrelated organization, "Tricon.") Following media coverage in both the United States and India, a group soon formed to continue the publication of the newsletter and to participate in local events such as the San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Pride Parade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Minority Gays Create a Voice for Unserved Community )〕〔 〕 In 2000 and 2006: (DesiQ ), a South Asian queer conference of international scope was produced by the organization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LGBT Pride Celebrations )〕 In September 2001 QFilmistan, a film festival, was also produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QFilmistan: The first South Asia LGBT film festival )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trikone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
