AANHPI Month 2025.png

LSC celebrates & honors Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) Heritage Month. We pay tribute to the AANHPI trailblazers and leaders whose courage, sacrifice and resilience paved the way for future generations & who played important parts of our shared history.

In June of 1977, U.S. Representatives Frank Horton of New York and Norman Mineta of California introduced a resolution to establish Asian Pacific Heritage Week, to be celebrated each year at the beginning of May. Senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga of Hawaii introduced similar legislation in the Senate. The following year, President Jimmy Carter signed into law a joint resolution to establish the annual event, and the first celebration took place in May of 1979. In 1992, the month of May was designated by President George H. W. Bush as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The annual celebration honors the many contributions and accomplishments of Asian Americans, Pacific Islander Americans, and Native Hawaiians.

The accomplishments and contributions of AANHPI individuals need to be a bigger part of U.S. History. LSC honors and thanks the AANHPI community for their resilience, sacrifices and victories.

Meet The Leather Solidarity Collective

Amid the groundswell of the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter protests that rang loudly across the nation and the globe in 2020, a group of passionate folks in Leather, BDSM, and Kink Communities banded together to bring antiracist activism to our own Leather/Kink Lifestyle Community through a series of several virtual town halls—"Navigating Racism During Two Pandemics."  Our 2021 efforts include a full 3-Day conference to celebrate People of Color and BIPOC Allies in Leather and Kink!
