Trikone (Hindustani pronunciation: [t̪rɪˈkoːn]) is a non-profit support, social, and political organization for South Asian bisexual, lesbian, gay, and transgender people.[1][2][3] It was founded in 1986 in the San Francisco Bay Area and is one of the oldest group of its kind in the world.[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.[7] Trikone publishes an eponymous magazine with an international base of subscribers several times a year.[8] The magazine is the oldest south Asian LGBT magazine in the U.S. which is completed 27 years in the mainstream media.[9]


Several metropolitan areas in North America aside from the San Francisco Bay Area also have organizations named "Trikone" (such as Trikone Northwest and Trikone Michigan), which have similar missions.[10]

History and activities


The organization was co-founded in 1986 by Arvind Kumar and Suvir Das[11] with the name "Trikon" and the first newsletter was published with that name in January 1986. (The name was later changed to "Trikone" due to a name conflict with an unrelated organization, "Tricon.") 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.[12][13]


In 2000 and 2006: DesiQ, a South Asian queer conference of international scope was produced by the organization.[14] In September 2001 QFilmistan, a film festival, was also produced.[15]



About the name
