LGBTQ+ AAPI Day of Visibility 2019
LGBTQ+ AAPI Day of Visibility
On June 1, 2019, we launched and celebrated LGBTQ+ AAPI Day of Visibility. Kicking off with proclamations from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Pittsburgh, we also launched a digital campaign and toolkit that featured LGBTQ+ AAPI media, icons, statistics, and resources, as well as encouraged LGBTQ+ AAPIs to share their experiences and tell their stories via social media.
Along with the LGBTQIA+ Advisory Council of Pittsburgh, we also hosted an open, honest, and emotional panel discussion of local LGBTQ+ AAPIs discussing their experiences as LGBTQ+ AAPIs.
LGBTQ+ AAPI Day of Visibility was about helping us be seen and celebrated, and helping us raise the profile of this oft-forgotten group in the national fight for representation, equality, and justice.

We're going to keep fighting the fight for visibility, recognition, support, and acceptance, with continued national and local efforts to support LGBTQ+ AAPIs.
See you next year on June 1st!
