“United by Pride, Bound for Equality!”

Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center will be celebrating PRIDE with style on Sunday, June 29, 2008 for the 38th San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Celebration 2007. There is a lot to celebrate and commemorate about this year for the greater A&PI LGBTQI communities!

2008 is the year where we make history by having two A&PI LGBT identified Community Grand Marshals who will be leading the parade festivities this year!

Evan Low
The City of Campbell made history when Evan Low was elected tothe City Council at the age of 23. He is the youngest gay elected official in the country and is the first openly gay and first Asian American to hold the elected position in the city. Evan served as President of the Silicon Valley LGBT Democratic Club and is poised to become the first openly gay Mayor in the Silicon Valley region. He continues to be deeply committed toward empowering under served communities.

Gay Asian Pacific Alliance
Celebrating its 20th year, the San Francisco Gay Asian Pacific Alliance (GAPA) is an organization dedicated to promoting the interests of gay & bisexual Asian/Pacific Islanders by creating awareness, by developing a positive collective identity and by establishing a supportive community. GAPA was formed from the need for an organization to address, through a democratic process, social, cultural and politicalissues affecting the gay & bisexual Asian/Pacific Islander community.
