Then in 2005, a Google search led him to Shades of Yellow, a Twin Cities-based group of Hmong gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer folk — most of whom had also at one time believed they were alone. “That’s pretty much everyone I’ve talked to,” Xiong says. “Everybody thought they were the only one.”
