Trikone
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 groups 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 published an eponymous magazine with an international base of subscribers several times a year.[8] The magazine was the oldest South Asian LGBT magazine in the U.S., and ran from 1986 to 2014.[9][10]
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.[11]
