Asian American Activist and Writer Helen Zia gets Married
Spotted this on the New York Times homepage a few minutes ago. A story on same-sex marriage, and who was that familiar face in the story's accompanying photo? Why, Helen Zia! Full story here at the New York Times. She and wife Lia Shigemura aren't featured in the article, but I thought it was refreshing to see Asian Americans on the front page of the NYT.
