  We are down to the last 2 days of our Indiegogo campaign to help fund the development of a new queer space that is visibly located in the heart of Downtown Oakland. We are very passionate about Qulture Collective and our vision to create a self-sustainable, LGBTQIA+ creative space.

To get it off the ground we need your help to raise as much funding as we can before the campaign concludes. Please take some time to donate and share. 

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate you.

Eat With Me

Hey Gaysians.

You gotta watch "Eat with Me" on Netflix. Basically, an Asian mom finds out her son is gay. Then what? Well, it's quite fun to watch how she deals with it in modern day society, and who she meets to help her along. 

Good news is, this movie is in English :) No subtitles needed this time.

Quite a cute movie  Eat with Me Trailer

What are YOUR thoughts on the movie?

Dating Apps

Hey Guys & Gals,

Sorry I've been MIA - busy with work and life and class. So what I want to talk about today is, how do you meet people after college?

Everybody has heard of Tindr, and okcupid, but what about apps like "The L"? Is there a better method to meet someone organically? Sure you can visit the local gay/lesbian/bi club, but how are you suppose to have meaningful connections when you can't hear each other over the loud music? (not to mention over-priced drinks and sweaty drunk people bumping into you).

I honestly do not have any good ideas either other than exhausting your network of friends and getting introduced to someone. I have thought about the idea of open-minded parents setting you up with a potential date, but they would have to be extremely open minded asian parents to do something like that for you. This is where I envy Indian cultures and their match-making marriages. Can I opt for that please?

Throw your idea out there and perhaps your suggestion will help someone else find a meaningful and worthwhile date. We'd love to hear from you :)

Greywater Recycling Systems, Inc

California's drought is getting worse. 3rd year in drought mode - mandatory water conservation throughout the state (>25%), and unfortunately no rain clouds in site.

This post is not directly related to gaysians, but I thought this find was too good not to share. Here's a solution for every household to save $$$ money on their increasing water bills, save water of course, and feel proud in being part of the solution:

I can't wait to install one in my home - and I'd want everyone in the gaysian community to benefit from this unique technology and be pioneers in the next big movement: WATER CONSERVATION

Please join me in making our earth a more green and sustainable environment.
