Trikone

Trikone (Hindustani pronunciation: [t̪rɪˈkoːn]) is a non-profit support, social, and political organization for South Asian bisexual, lesbian, gay, and transgender people.

[4][5][6] South Asians affiliated with Trikone are from or trace their ancestry to the following countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Burma, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tibet.

Following media coverage in both the United States and India, a group soon formed to continue the publication of the newsletter and to participate in local events such as the San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Pride Parade.

[13][14] In 2000 and 2006, DesiQ, a South Asian queer conference of international scope was produced by the organization.

[16] "Trikone" (Hindi/Marathi/Sanskrit: त्रिकोण, Telugu: త్రికోణ్, Urdu: تْرِكون, Gujarati: ત્રિકોણ, Punjabi: ਤ੍ਰਿਕੋਣ, Bengali: ত্রিকোণ, Malayalam: ത്രികോൺ) means "triangle"[17] in many South Asian languages.
