We're always testing new additions to the Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour.

In June, we marked Pride by taking participants deeper into how diaspora impacted global South Asian LGBTQ+ organizing, e.g. the back pages of #Trikone magazine helping folks find community in cities across the world. (This redacted image is from Oct 1995, p25.)

We still have spots open for our July 30 tour! Register now at https://www.berkeleysouthasian.org

I'm researching South Asian life in San Francisco's Mission district, and just scanned this lovely flyer.

This is from Trikone's first QFilmistan South Asian LGBTQ+ film fest, held at the ATA in San Francisco from Aug 31–Sep 2, 2001.

(There was a second QFilmistan held two years later, in 2003, and I was there for at least one night.)

Cool! The California Digital Newspaper Collection has finally digitized the Bay Area Reporter

So it's easier than ever to explore early histories of Trikone and Bay Area South Asian LGBTQ+ organizing, going back to 1986:
