Asian Pacific Islander Family Pride
API Family Pride is a supportive environment for families of Asian/Pacific bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people, dedicated to ending the isolation of API families with LGBT members through support, education, and dialogue. We provide one-on-one sessions with parents; connect parents with others who speak their language; conduct workshops at schools and gatherings, and have developed resources that have found their way into over 10,000 home and schools. We have produced a video, Coming Out – Coming Home, which contains interviews with families of API LGBT people. Our annual banquet honors supportive parents and families who have been nominated by API LGBT individuals. Contact us at or visit www.apifamilypride.org
