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 9/11 - Monthly Support Group

Posted: August 25th, 2010 | Author: Jimmy | Filed under: Blog, Events, News |

Join SALGA for our monthly support group meeting.
The theme for this month will be

~ Identity ~

Whether it’s sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion… we have many facets to our identity. What parts of our identity are most important to us? How does it feel when others make assumptions about who we are? What happens when our own sense of ourselves begins to shift? … Identity can be a touchy thing, not in the least because people are always trying to tell us who we are in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways, even within our own LGBT community.

Date: Saturday, September 11th, 2010
Time: 4 - 6pm
Location: LGBT Center

SALGA’s monthly support group meetings are a SAFE, CONFIDENTIAL space for you to join a group atmosphere to talk about issues that affect your life and well-being.  We provide a supportive atmosphere to all attendees..
