LGBTQ Korean American Voices: Stories from the Dari Project. Beginning with Mark Ro Beyersdorf’s piece on “My Korean American Story” section of our web site, KoreanAmericanStory.org will be publishing monthly essays and artwork from a compilation of works that comprised the Dari Project. The Dari Project is a first of its kind collection of bi-lingual works that share the unique experiences of the LGBTQ who live across the United States and South Korea.
It is our hope that by sharing these stories of coming out to immigrant parents or grappling with homophobia and transphobia in the Korean American community, we hope to help Dari Project in its mission of increasing acceptance and awareness of LGBTQ Korean Americans within the broader Korean American community.
The mission of KoreanAmericanStory.org is to document the stories of ALL Korean Americans, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Read Mark Ro Beyersdorf’s story
