Gendered Limits and Kelly Loves Tony:

Gendered Limits discusses the issues of Asian mistreatment in South Asia for being a part of the LGBTQIA community and their inability to be recognized in either Asia or America. Some of the issues that some people face are the inability to be recognized and accepted into either communities. In response to this, they have resorted to the internet to meet up and feel accepted by the people around them, since they are unable to integrate into either the Asian or the American mainstream culture. One of the benefits of this is that they get to meet and interact with like-minded people and feel accepted for who they are. This is especially integral since their community or society has not allowed gays or any of the members of the LGBTQIA community to open up within their society. Due to a heterogenic archetype of how society is run, certain individuals have a fear of opening up or expressing themselves to their parents or society in the fear of being judged and persecuted. However, it is also important to realize that the internet is also a bit conflicting, as the people in time will have to open up and stand up for themselves and work to be recognized or face the adversity of their government with the help of foreign powers. Unfortunately, similar to women's rights, LGBTQIA rights haven't been universally recognized and fair to all of its members of other races, class, or other backgrounds. Kelly Loves Tory discusses about the conflicts of Minh families who live in poverty and the struggles of being a parent while pursuing a career. When Kelly graduated from high school and had a baby with Tony, she has struggled to maintain her happiness and life due to her inability to integrate to Tony's family and juggle with school. This comes with the conflict of culture and the ability to maintain one's self, as Kelly is trying her best to raise her child, deal with Tony's family's chores, and juggle school whereas Tony hasn't contributed as much as her due to his laidback nature. This is also noticed by Tony's parents, as they point out that Tony hasn't been contributing as much to the family as Kelly has and foresaw the disaster within this coupling due to unequal amounts of work commitment. Kelly's life struggles is similar to the struggles of the LGBTQIA Asians, as they are neglected by both America and Asia and are forced to create and redefine their own identity and position in life to survive. Hopefully, if they are able to find the right people to support them, both the LGBTQIA asians and Kelly would be able to resolve their issues as they must realize that they are not alone and that people aren't as ignorant and blind to situations as is often misinterpretted.
