| Summary: | My essay traces the convergence of my activist, spiritual and academic journeys in working towards Vietnamese LGBTIQQ rights and visibility. I discuss my pilot survey data of Asian American attitudes toward LGBTIQQ issues and my own pragmatic and spiritual journey to explore what sustainable activism may mean. I share the lessons learned that would require LGBTIQQ activists to address religious issues and what religious allies can do to help advance LGBTIQQ rights and concerns. I conclude arguing for a new politics of spirituality or a new politics of restorative justice and sustainable activism. |
