Tuckahoe NY Pride

Kitty Tsui is a Chinese American lesbian writer and cultural figure whose poetry and performance have helped expand queer Asian American visibility. Emerging from San Francisco’s activist and arts communities, she has used writing to explore sexuality, gender, race, family, and belonging—often foregrounding the tensions of living between cultures while insisting on queer self-definition. Tsui has been associated with lesbian feminist and spoken-word spaces that nurtured community storytelling and political voice. Her work, both personal and public-facing, has supported broader LGBTQ cultural representation by affirming queer desire and resilience while challenging stereotypes about Asian American womanhood.

From “Without Love”
I cannot do without love. the way I make myself. do without food or sleep or sex. I cannot do without love.
