Abstract (Dublin Core): T.C. is an Asian American bisexual feminist activist who came to the U.S. from Vietnam in 1975, at the age of 3. He describes growing up in California and his relationship with his family. He then went to Claremont McKenna College, where he was involved with the school’s Women’s Center and nonviolent advocacy projects such as the Alternatives to Violence Project and Peace for Justice Project. After graduation, he moved to DC. He described his experience living in group houses and eventually meeting his husband online while looking for the career field he was interested in. He and his husband, Jonathan, were married in a Quaker ceremony, and being Quaker and spiritual has significantly influenced his life. He started in an internship at the Advocacy Institute, moved to a position at the National Lesbian and Gay Health Association, then did policy work at the Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS) before becoming a field organizer at Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). After spending three years working at Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), T.C. returned to LGBT organizing at the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). T.C. describes his experience singing with and co-coordinating the Lesbian and Gay Chorus of Washington, DC, and his core values of anti-oppression and social justice work that have influenced his work and life choices.
