The third event in AEN's Building Bridges initiative was
a resounding success. Fifty-four people attended the March
3 screening of "For Straights Only" co-sponsored
by Trikone, the organization for South Asian lesbians and
gays.
Vismita Gupta-Smith, the producer of this 22-minute
documentary about South Asian lesbians and gays, was on
hand to discuss the film along with several members of Trikone.
Her gay brother Navarun Gupta, who inspired the
film, was also present. Both Vismita and Navarun led a very
interesting discussion about South Asian culture and its
impact on coming out.
Look for future diversity committee events in the upcoming
weeks.
