dbo:abstract
  • Khush: South Asian Lesbian and Gay Association (Khush meaning "happy") was a queer collective activist organization in Canada geared towards South Asian men and women whose goal was to promote a better understanding of South Asian culture and values within the gay and lesbian community. The organization operated from 1987 and 1998, and had an active web presence since the early 1990s. As asserted by Sandip Roy, "Khush constructed a "safe space" for both Indian gay men and lesbians online, during a time when offline or in-person contact between Indian queers for nonsexual purposes was deemed largely unimaginable.” Khush also sought to address the "othering" and exclusion of queer South Asians within scholarly work and the media, in terms of access, contacts, racism, etc. (en)
