    珍妮佛•常:勇敢出柜做自己

    年龄:32岁

    职务:高级产品营销经理

    任职公司:eBay

    地理位置:圣何塞,加利福尼亚州

    珍妮佛•常是第一代亚裔美国人,在芝加哥一个保守的家庭长大。她说,自己二十五岁左右出柜,结果“差点毁掉我的生活”。但在eBay工作期间,她从同性恋同事中找到了自己的榜样。他们告诉她:“你也可以成功;你也可以有自己的家庭,”她说。在遇到自己的爱人(现在已经成为她的妻子)之后,常希望在发展中国家的同性恋社群寻找关于希望的故事。在休假一年期间,常和爱人走遍了亚洲、非洲和南美洲的16个国家,在博客上记录和拍摄各地的普通人,例如尼泊尔的一位变性人政治家,以及一位在柬埔寨边远地区创立女性支持网络的年轻人等。一部与她们的项目有关的纪录片《走出来,走出去》(Out and Around)也在筹备当中。常说:“我希望,不论是同性恋还是异性恋,都能把这些故事看成是单纯的、非常人性化的故事。”

    Coming out as gay in her mid-twenties “rocked my world,” says Jennifer Chang, a first-generation Asian-American who grew up in a conservative household in Chicago. But while working at eBay, she found role models among her gay colleagues who showed her that “you could be successful; you could have a family,” she says. After meeting her partner (now wife), Chang wanted to capture stories of hope among the LGBT community all across the developing world. In the course of a year-long leave of absence, Chang and her partner traveled to 16 countries across Asia, Africa, and South America, blogging about and filming people such as a transgender politician in Nepal and a young man who started a support network for women in rural Cambodia. A documentary about their project, “Out and Around,” is in the works, too. “I hope that people, whether they’re gay or straight, see these as very human stories,” Chang says.
