In April 1991, The Heat is On "Miss Saigon:" Coalition to End Racism and Sexism on Broadway, which was led by Asian Lesbians of the East Coast (ALOEC) and Gay Asian and Pacific Islander Men of New York (GAPIMNY), protested the musical "Miss Saigon" at the Broadway Theater over its stereotypical portrayals of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) people, especially women. Additionally, the demonstration opposed Lambda Legal Defense Fund’s use of the show’s preview for its annual fundraising benefit despite earlier objections from members of ALOEC and GAPIMNY.
