The “LGBTQ New Americans” project is designed to document and share the stories and experiences of LGBTQ immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers living in Brooklyn and New York. Since inception, immigrants have shaped our city and nation. In recent decades, we have seen an increase in immigrants and refugees who identify as LGBTQ, and their unique life stories are being woven into the fabric of our city and country. Given the tension and heated rhetoric surrounding current debates on immigration issues, it is crucial to provide a genuine platform for individuals to tell their stories and help people understand the human beings behind these complex and often abstract policy issues.
