Karen Tongson honors the legacy of Karen Carpenter with her new book, Why Karen Carpenter Matters. Like Carpenter, a self-proclaimed tomboy, Tongson's been confronted with societal gender norms her entire life. She talks about sometimes being perceived as a man and not correcting people for the sake of ease, how AIDS affected her while growing up in California in the 80s, and why she describes her gender as a "Totino's Party Pizza".LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by Neon Hum Media and The Advocate.
