Asian Parents and Their LGBT Children on Unconditional Love (Japanese Translation) - AARP
3:02
There are an estimated 325,000 Asian Pacific Islander (API) adults in the United States that identify as LGBT.

Our call to action? Let’s encourage API parents to offer their LGBTQ child a lifeline, support their coming out, and keep the family strong and unified.
