research study on gay asian american males

I recently heard from Karin Garber, who is conducting a study with Dr. Michael Y. Lau at New York at Teachers College, Columbia University on the identity of gay Asian/Asian American males. They're currently looking for people to participate in their research, and could really use your help. Here's some more information about the study:
