The South Asian Lesbian & Gay Association of New York City (SALGA) serves to promote awareness, tolerance, acceptance, empowerment and safe spaces for sexual minorities and people of all gender identities, who trace their heritage to South Asia or who identify as South Asian. Our mission is to enable community members to establish cultural visibility and take a stand against oppression and discrimination in all its forms.  We pledge to encourage leadership development, provide multi-generational support, work towards immigration advocacy, address health issues such as HIV / AIDS, and foster political involvement in the interest of creating a more tolerant society.

Saturday 1/14 - All Genders Shopping Event

Posted: January 10th, 2012 | Author: Jimmy | Filed under: Blog, Events, News |

Need New Threads?

Join us for an ALL GENDER shopping trip to Marshall’s and Daffy’s in the New Year!

Want to buy clothes, but feel anxious about shopping in the women’s section of the store? Want to buy your first suit, but afraid of what the clerks will say if you try one on? Want to play with your gender presentation, but aren’t sure how to get your hands on some fabulous clothes? This is the shopping trip for you!

We invite people of all genders to come and shop with us — there’s power in numbers! — and we also invite cis-gender allies to come support and talk fashion with us. Whether you’re TransGenderQueer*, just experimenting, or a friend, we’d love to see you!

When is this amazing trip, you ask? Good question!

Saturday, January 14th @ 1pm

We’ll meet at the Cosi (6th Ave at 23rd Street), and from there meander our way down to Marshall’s (6th Ave an 18th St) and Daffy’s (18th St at 5th Ave), before ending up at the LGBT Center in time for the SALGA support group at 4pm.

Please RSVP to Deen deen@salganyc.org so we know who to wait for. (He’ll also send you a contact number to call/text in case you want to meet up with us later.)

Join us for a fun January afternoon. We promise to stop for hot cocoa at least twice along the way. :)

*We use the term TransGenderQueer to be inclusive of all gender variant folks, no matter where you fall on the gender continuum, or how you identify.
