Events like this where we can have informed debate on regulation, regulatory policy, everything with the word reg in it. There is a long history of brookings working on regulatory policy. Way back in the 1990s, in my youth, i was affiliated with the joint initiative regulatory studies. When i came to brookings in 2009, that center no longer existed. A lot of people were working on regulations and i wanted to start that up again. Low and behold, here we are. It is an opportune time to focus on regulatory policy.

Dont get the support. There are many factors. One of them being that again, its largely an immigrant community. You have a lot of the resources, that are provided by either the government or by lgbt organizations, not always in the languages that they speak. Theyre not always addressed to their specific needs. In a lot of the Hindu Community centers, there tends to be a lack of focus on lgbt people. I think thats because its such a new issue for many. There hasnt been a very large hindu Lgbt Community. It is growing very quickly.

In my time, i have had a chance to have these conversations with them and also, to work on both sides on educating the community, on how to help them and serving as advocate. Its important to expand this conversation beyond just the Public School system. Talk
