Khush is a safe space for LGBTQIA South Asian folks at UC berkeley. It is a space to build community, hang out, and provide support. ““Khush” means ecstatic pleasure in Urdu. For LGBTQIA South Asian in Britain, North America, and India the term captures the blissful intricacies of being queer and of color. Inspiring testimonies bridge geographical differences to locate shared experiences of isolation and exoticization but also the unremitting joys and solidarity of being “khush” khush.berkeley@gmail.com Sponsored by the Gender Equity Resource Center http://geneq.berkeley.edu/lgbt_resources_ queer_people_of_color If you wanna join, fill our our form here! http://tinyurl.com/44ybs6hTumblr (3.0; @khushberkeley)http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ur6HcE-5WrE?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://queersatyagraha.tumblr.com/post/10924384118">queersatyagraha</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>this is my first original song on guitar</p> </blockquote> <p>yay!</p>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10924417463http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10924417463Sun, 02 Oct 2011 01:59:44 -0400original songfirstguitarmusicsingernevin raodesi queer on guitar<p><strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/44ybs6h">http://tinyurl.com/44ybs6h</a></strong></p> <p><br/><strong>Information shared on this form will be confidential! </strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong></p>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10854825780http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10854825780Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:54:01 -0400<a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=280598945303562">Queer People of Color Conference!</a>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10854745462http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10854745462Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:51:23 -0400qpocqueer people of colorqueerlgbt<a href="http://Diversity, racism, higher education and the real cost of baked goods">Diversity, racism, higher education and the real cost of baked goods</a>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10826488638http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10826488638Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:01:13 -0400diversityracismhigher educationstructual racismoppression<a href="https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=295452393801480">'Queer South-Asian Stories' - event at UC Berkeley!</a>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10826470537http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10826470537Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:00:49 -0400queerdesieventpaneldiscussionUC BerkeleyOctober 5th<a href="http://www.satrang.org/NeedsAssesmentReport.pdf">If you're a queer of South-Asian descent, you should read this!!!</a>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10549407123http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10549407123Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:50:35 -0400queerdesiactivismneeds assesmentsocal<a href="http://sepiamutiny.com/blog/2011/09/20/to-thine-own-self-be-true/#more-6879">Murder of a Queer Desi Man in D.C. </a>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10549402613http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/10549402613Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:50:19 -0400queerdesimurderD.C.““Without community, there is no liberation.””<br/><br/> - <em><p><span>Audre Lorde</span></p> <p><span></span></p> <p>(via <a href="http://friendlyneighborhoodcurmudgeon.tumblr.com/">friendlyneighborhoodcurmudgeon</a>)</p></em>http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/9911029161http://khushberkeley.tumblr.com/post/9911029161Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:38:00 -0400<p>hi all!
