The article on Boyung Lee is very interested to me. In general, sexual identity has always been important to Asian American community. As far as i understand, Chinese has this tradition of wanting a son in the family in order to pass down their last name from generation to generation. Thus sexual identity is extremely important for passing on family identity. Homosexual are not tolerable in the Asian family due to religious belief and traditional value. Majority of Asian American community are Christian. This means that being homosexual is not an option. Also because homosexual cannot reproduce and pass down the family's last name. So having a proper sexual identity is extremely important within the Asian American community.
