Throughout the series I follow the lives of six queer Asians in Montreal &#8211; Linh, JP, Shawn, Fang, S. and A.L. &#8211; as they navigate life at the intersection of their identities and their environment. This first part will put the focus on the experiences of queer Asian individuals and their families. The second part will put the focus on their lived realities as they navigate daily life in their broader community. And the last part will put the focus on their thoughts, reflections, hopes and dreams within the society they exist in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><a
