Chinese New Year Parade
March 3, 2007
San Francisco, CA

 

 
We teamed with GAPA once again this year to march in the Chinese New Year Parade.
Our group this year included children and youth, Asian and Pacific Islander LGBT people, pastors, and other allies.
We wore rainbow stoles to demonstrate our religious support for LGBT people
... and danced in the streets to the tune of "Seasons of Love" and other favorites.
The theme of the GAPA float this year was "Love Without Boundaries"! The float featured six Asian and Asian American gay and lesbian couples and a huge glittering globe with blinking hearts highlighting countries that have equal rights for same-sex couples and their families.

We made it on the 11 o'clock news on Channel 7!

A big thank you to those who marched, those who planned to
march but could not make it, those who helped with the banner and the rainbow stoles, those who made the beautiful float, those who organized and coordinated, and those who think of us from afar... See you next year!
