6th Annual Family Presentation Banquet
Since 2004, Asian & Pacific Islander (A&PI) Family Pride has organized its annual Family Presentation Banquet to honor persons who have supported A&PI lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons throughout their journey of self-discovery and coming out. The annual Family Presentation Banquet has honored over 60 mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and numerous other accepting family members who have faced deep-rooted homophobia in order to love and accept their LGBT relatives. The Banquet is an opportunity to honor this private courage of public support.
We invite Asian & Pacific Islander LGBT individuals to nominate these brave and accepting family members to honor at the A&PI Family Pride Banquet on May 30, 2009.
