But First:

The Asian communities in the San Gabriel Valley follow along a 25 mile stretch of Valley Boulevard covering the entire length of the San Gabriel Valley with Alhambra on the west side and Diamond Bar on the east side. The northern San Gabriel valley includes largely White communities such as Pasadena and Monrovia while the southern part of the valley includes several Hispanic communities. The Asian communities in the San Gabriel Valley tend to have a larger population of Hispanics than non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks. Asian communities in the San Gabriel Valley extend as far north as San Marino and Arcadia and as far south as Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights. Valley Boulevard begins at Lincoln Park, off North Main Street near downtown Los Angeles, about a mile northeast of the downtown Los Angeles Chinatown. From North Main Street, Valley runs east along a five mile stretch including large industrial tracks and the largely Hispanic community of Lincoln Heights. Midway between downtown Chinatown to the west and the start of the suburban Chinatown to the East is the beautiful Ming Ya Buddhist Temple, on Valley Boulevard in Lincoln Heights. From Los Angeles, Valley enters Alhambra, the "Gateway to the San Gabriel Valley". Alhambra, which is 47% Asian according to the 2000 census, has a large number of Asian businesses along Valley Boulevard, Garfield, Atlantic and Main. Alhambra's Valley Boulevard boasts numerous noodle shops, Asian cafés and the original Sam Woo Barbecue restaurant. Continuing east from Alhambra along Valley Boulevard are the cities of San Gabriel and Rosemead with San Marino, Temple City and Arcadia being further north and east. These five cities have Asian populations between 40 and 55% with a large number of Asian businesses and "pocket" Chinatowns in their various town centers. Arcadia has some of the finest tofu and dumpling houses in the world. Along Valley Boulevard in San Gabriel are dozens of Asian mini-malls and hundreds of shops and restaurants. San Gabriel Square is one of the most prominent and features a 99 Ranch Market, several shops and restaurants including specialties such as Taiwanese and Vegetarian food. Valley Boulevard in San Gabriel also includes the comprehensive San Gabriel Superstore which includes multiple vendors anchored by a large grocery store. Inside and outside the Superstore are found numerous vendors of Asian art, jewelry, books, videos, clothing as well as health and beauty aids. Delicious round red and green bean pastries sold at a stand near the entrance. Continuing east from Rosemead further along Valley are the largely Hispanic communities of El Monte and La Puente and large industrial tracks including those that dominate the City of Industry. This ten mile long largely industrial corridor includes several Asian owned wholesale businesses including importers of electronics, food and furniture from Asia. North of La Puente is West Covina which is 26% Asian and south of La Puente is Hacienda Heights which is 36% Asian. Hacienda Heights is home to the Hsi Lai Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the United States. The Temple is off Hacienda Road, on Glenmark Drive, about three miles south of Valley. On the east side of the San Gabriel Valley, before Valley becomes Holt Avenue in Pomona, are the communities of Rowland Heights, Walnut and Diamond Bar. These three communities each have Asian populations of between 50 and 60%. Rowland Heights offers its own mini Chinatown, including the businesses lining Colima Road (about one mile south of Valley), Fullerton Road and Nogales Avenue. Indoor malls in Rowland Heights feature fine restaurants and chic Asian boutiques.

Female homosexuality
Lesbians are female homosexuals who are also subjected to the stereotypes and misconceptions of whom they are, and how they dress and behave. Typically, they are thought to be "Butch", with short haircuts and work boots. Ordinary lesbians are generally more difficult to identify in the general female population than the males are. Lesbian who dress more like men or "dykes", a mainly pejorative term, are thought to be making a stong statement of their place in today's society, and seeking acceptance as a part of humanity. Portia de Rossi has made some progress in dispelling the general misconception of how a lesbian "should" look and function. Some lesbians have chosen to embrace the designation of "dykes", which hopefully serves to take the onus out of the term.

Bisexuality
A bisexual person is define as having an attraction to both genders, usually in varying degrees. However there is significant disagreement among bisexual theorists and bisexuals themselves is establishing a more precise definition.

Transgenderism
Transgender is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of people with more specific identities, someone who identifies with a gender other than the biological one. It is their gender identity. There are vast differences in the people that may be generalized under this "umbrella" that are transsexual people, cross-dressers, drag queens, drag kings, masculine women, and effeminate men. In a broad sense, the term "transgender" includes all people who fall outside of gender stereotypes. The beliefs that transgendered people are all prostitutes and caricatures of men and women are two of many erroneous misconceptions. Transsexualism

A Transexual is a person born with the physical characteristics of one gender and psychologically and emotionally feel they belong to the opposite sex, it other words they believe were born into the wrong body.[11] It is a painful and confusing phenonomena, especially to those afflicted with transsexuality and their parents, much less society. There is a high rate of suicide of transgendered young people.[12]

Stereotyping Transsexual women as tall and that transsexual men are short is a popular. misapprehension. While some MTFs and FTMs will fall into this stereotype, far more do not. Early treatment can avoid the the height disparities.[13] A woman born into a taller man's body will naturally be a taller woman, and vice versa.[14]
