We were thrilled to see the first ever South Asian Pride night event in the history of SoCal highlighted in the @latimes article by @JeongPark52. Thank you for elevating our stories (and our Boardmember AP Qazi)! latimes.com/california/sto…

TY @kcrw for highlighting our Family Day! “Bhatt says that having a safe space and community for South Asian and queer families was particularly important because of the stigma and intolerance in the region and in the U.S. that prevents people being out.” kcrw.com/news/shows/gre…

Great night with 125+ others at our @SatrangSoCal 25th Anniversary Gala +enjoying #Diwali🪔! A great intergenerational celebration among our deep & rich LGBTQ+ South Asian community🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈. I’ve been a member for 5 yrs but this was my 1st Gala as a Boardmember (1 of 6)🥳! #DesiPride

Please join us this Saturday, 10/29 @SpiceAffairLA from 7pm- midnight as we celebrate 25 years of Satrang at our annual gala. 🎟 are $95, (🔗 satrang.org/events-1/satra…) but a few community tix still avail. Can’t wait to celebrate our LGBTQ+ South Asian community with you!

And by “her” they’re referring to progressive stalwart and the only South Asian to ever serve on the LA City Council @nithyavraman! You know when they’re trying to dilute your ability to stand up for working class families, that you’re doing something right. Thank you, Nithya! 🙏🏽

Thanks to the 75+ community members to turned out for our Family Day. Proud to cohost this event with our friends @desirainbow1 in LA. We love to create multigenerational spaces that center queer and trans South Asians! #Desis #DragStoryTime #FamilyBonding #LGBTQSouthAsian
