\"Lunar<\/a>GUNG HAY FAT CHOY!<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s\u00a0night time Lunar New Year Parade took place on the evening of\u00a0February 7, 2009. API Equality took the lead in organizing and the theme was “Asian Pacific Islanders for Marriage Equality.” The weather was warm (no rain!) and we had about 75 people show up and march with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A religious contingent with folks from GRACE, Pine Church, NRJ-API-LGBT, PANA\u00a0and more came out to march in\u00a0support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender APIs in the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade.<\/p>\n

This was\u00a0the fifth year that the API LGBT Community and our allies are marched in the Chinese New Year Parade.\u00a0\u00a0We show the world that there are LGBT API people in our community and that we support marriage equality.<\/p>\n

Some of the participating organizations include API Family Pride, API Legal Outreach, Asian Law Caucus, API Queer Women & Transgender Coalition, API Wellness Center, Gay Asian Pacific Alliance, Network for Religion and Justice for API LGBT People, Our Family Coalition, PANA Institute and UC Berkeley Queer and Asian.<\/p>\n
