"Honoring Family: Public Recognition of Private Courage"

Join us in celebrating and honoring individual API families who proudly support their LGBT children, relatives, friends in spite of the prejudice they encounter.

API Family Pride's 4th Annual Family Honor Roll Presentation is a way of acknowledging the process that our families have undergone to overcome homophobia and understand and accept us as we are. This is a time to commend the private, personal struggles of love and transformation in our individual families with public acknowledgement from us, their children and a grateful community.
