APAP Calendar

LGBT/Pride Week

June is LGBT pride month. We have a variety of queer AAPI's, friends, families and allies posting about their experiences. Thanks to Be DeGuzman, one of APAP's 2009 Unsung Heroes, for coordinating this special week of posts.

To help with our upcoming hate crimes/Vincent Chin week (June 21) or Pacific Islander week (Aug), please let us know. If you have a topic you or your agency would like to coordinate, email us.

Harold Koh confirmed by Senate

Thu, 06/25/2009 - 21:59

Congratulations to the new top legal advisor to the State Department.  Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh has just been confirmed by the Senate to the post, overcoming months of stalling by the GOP, including an anonymous hold.  Koh passed by a vote of 62-35, with five Republicans voting to confirm — Sens. Olympia Snowe (ME), Susan Collins (ME), Richard Lugar (IN), Mel Martinez (FL), and George Voinovich (OH). As we've stated before, Koh is often cited as a potential nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. If that happens, he, of course, would be the first Asian American on the Supreme Court.
