Some days when I am exasperated about America, I think about how the Bay Area is where I found hundreds of queer Asian immigrant lesbians and bi and trans women who came here to build a life and community that we couldn't have wherever we came from.
So even if America is very much the restaurant that gives me food poisoning

It has become home to me, some time in the last year or two.
@skinnylatte And we are better for it!
@skinnylatte just visiting SFO as a tourist taking a regular bus 10 years ago made me realise that at home I don't see elderly queer couples. And I'm from the first country that legalized same sex marriage.
It made me so sad (and very happy for the people in SFO!)
