Garden Grove Tet Festival

People of all ages celebrated Tet, or Vietnamese New Year, this year in Garden Grove on 2/12-2/14. Celebrations included a parade, food, dragon dancers and more. The parade brought its own controversy: The Partnership of Vietnamese Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Organizations--which includes Sống Thật Radio ("live true"), Gay Vietnamese Alliance, Ô-Môi and the Vietnamese Lesbian and Bisexual Women Network and Friends--marched in the parade down Bolsa Avenue, despite some opposition.
