Celebrate Lunar New Year and Show Support for All Our Loved Ones

  • February 19, 2015

恭 喜 發 財
 
Happy Lunar New Year from the API Project of PFLAG NYC!

Today is Lunar New Year, a holiday observed through many countries in East Asia and marked with many festive celebrations in Asian-American communities. In New York City, Lunar New Year will be celebrated with big parade on Saturday in Flushing, Queens, and on Sunday in Chinatown, Manhattan.

Once again, the API Project of PFLAG NYC is coming together with allies in the New York City LGBTQ Asian Pacific Islander community to show our love for our friends, neighbors, families, and communities. Join PFLAG NYC’s API Project, GAPIMNY, Q-WAVE, and others in rallying for love, acceptance, and understanding in our families of all backgrounds by marching in the Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and helping to carry our banner proudly:

You can join us in two ways. Come early to help make signs, blow up balloons, organize posters, and decorate our contingent. To do this, meet at Project Reach at 39 Eldridge St, 4th floor, at 10:00 a.m.

To join the parade itself, come to our gathering point at 11:30 a.m. We do not have our exact location yet, but you can get it by checking the Lunar New Year for All page on Facebook or following PFLAG NYC on Twitter. The parade begins at 1 p.m., but to meet up with us in the crowds, you should come as close to 11:30 a.m. as possible. Take advantage of the fact that the weather on Sunday is supposed to be a balmy 45 degrees!

We invite all who march with us to enjoy a festive Lunar New Year banquet with all the LGBTQ allied organizations. Full details will be provided at the march, so you have to come if you want to eat!

If you have any questions or want to let us know you’re coming, please send email to api@pflagnyc.org.

Everyone is welcome, no matter what your family background. Come our and show your support!

Loving Elders Support Group

October 2 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

Loving Elders Support Group

This month's theme will focus on thinking about gender in an inclusive way. Elders give children the promise of community, continuity, and consciousness of self. They are the spiritual guides that keep culture and personal history alive in the hearts of the young. They nurture the love and understanding that can then withstand the difficulties and appreciate the beauty of our shared walk through life. We love and cherish our grandchildren and may be the most accepting because so many unimportant things are of no concern to us anymore compared to our precious children. If you identify as a grandparent or an intergenerational influence in the life of an LGBTQ+ person join us for the launch of our Loving Elders Support Group. We’ll meet the first Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET. Learn more and register.

Join our community to meet understanding friends, share information and resources, and get support as we strive to show up and advocate for our kiddos to be their most authentic selves. *This group will be facilitated in English but one of our regular facilitators is also fluent in Spanish. Note that this group arose from within the TFP (Trans Families Project) group and families are welcome to join/attend both; SOGI Tweens offers an inclusive, age-group-specific space for families of youth who identify anywhere within the rainbow spectrum. Online registration for this new group is not yet set up on the PFLAGNYC website, so to sign up and receive a reminder email with Zoom link please email SOGItweens@gmail.com and include your name, the child's age and […]

Reading with Love: A Virtual Drag Read Aloud of Children’s Banned Books

As anti-LGBTQ+ legislation sweeps the nation, our schools, libraries, and other story-telling spaces are being attacked on the basis of “protecting the children.” Countless books have been banned as a result, attempting to block—and thereby, extinguish—any mention of LGBTQ+ experiences and identities. But these books go beyond LGBTQ+ narratives—they’re glowing messages of love, role models for living life as your best, most authentic self. In what world should these messages be censored? On October 5 from 6-7 pm ET, we’re sharing these messages of love through the voices of our most vivacious, glamorous, and fearless community members: drag artists. Bringing these stories to life are local drag talent Coco Sho-Nell, Emi Grate, Mister Max, and Nancy Nogood, whose authenticity in themselves mirrors the authenticity in these stories. Reading with Love is a Live broadcasted, family-friendly read aloud geared towards children ages 5-8, with topics including the gender binary, trans children, parents of the same gender, and the history of the Gay Pride flag. Let’s come together and help our kids see a bright and loving future. Register and learn more!

Come into the Circle with us! Black Family Circle meets online on the fourth Sunday of every month from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ET. For more information and to register, please click here.
