In 1969, the Stonewall Uprising was felt across Lower Manhattan. One year later, the first gay pride marches took place to commemorate its anniversary. Today, Pride is celebrated across the globe.
Yet, even though over half a century has passed since Stonewall, there is still work to be done. Over 11.3M LGBTQ+ adults live in the U.S. and 4.5% identify as Asian American or Pacific Islander. 1/5th have been diagnosed with depression and are more likely to experience unemployment and food insecurity than non-LGBTQ+ AAPI.
ADMERASIA prides ourselves in our commitment to building connections. To us, representation is essential. We celebrate diversity in all forms: languages, cultures, genders, and identities. We refuse to ignore the experiences of our loved ones, our colleagues, or our community.
ADMERASIA will continue to recognize these experiences in our work. We tell our stories. We speak our truth. Wishing everyone happiness this Pride Month and we’ll see you at the next march.
