About API Equality-LA
Welcome to the web-site of API Equality-L.A., a coalition of organizations and individuals working to build support for equal marriage rights and fair treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the greater Los Angeles Asian and Pacific Islander community. Founded during the summer of 2005, API Equality-LA is part of a state-wide campaign, "Let California Ring," that seeks to open hearts and minds about the freedom to marry and the respect, support, protections, and responsibilities that come with marriage. API Equality-LA is also part of the Equality for All campaign, which was also formed in 2005 to respond to the attempt to place measures on the California ballot that would deny marriage equality.
API Equality-LA has successfully brought together LGBT activists and straight allies who represent the cultural, linguistic, generational and gender diversity within our community in our common quest for justice. After exploring this website and learning more about APIELA, we hope you will join us in this exciting and critical work.
Sincerely,
Doreena Wong
