Annual Lunar New Year Banquet

Api Equality-LA rings in the Year of the Snake at our Annual Lunar New Year Banquet, to be held on Saturday, February 16, 2013. Once again, members of Api Equality-LA and our friends and allies will parade through the streets of Los Angeles' Chinatown in the 114th Annual Golden Dragon Parade.
