As Queer and Trans folks, we are all too familiar with the experience of “coming out.” Which is– to endure the pressure, complexity, and fear of communicating our authentic selves to our biological families or those closest around us. We believe in a FREE Palestine and part of that journey is about coming out to our families about it as well.

For Vietnamese people across the world, April 30 either marks a “Day of Liberation/ ngày giải phóng” or a “loss of country/ mất nước.” Ultimately, this day marks the moment the US military withdrew from Vietnam, ending the 20-year US War in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

We are taking some time today, amidst the devastating genocide in Gaza to acknowledge the cycles of imperialism and all its impact on oppressed people, especially at the intersection of our queer and trans spirits. We created this “coming out letter” – a declaration of our solidarity with Palestine – to contextualize this moment in history with a previous moment in history that is still alive in our bones.

We know that everyone has a different relationship/story to our families and lineage so we offer this resource as a conversation starter. Challenging the Vietnamese dominant narrative is not a light task and we urge you to engage only if you feel safe, comfortable and/or ready to.

Link in bio. This letter was in collaboration with members of the QTViệt Cafe Collective, Dallas Asian American Historical Society @dallasasianhistory, and various community supporters.
