Asian Pride @ Roots & Routes - Panel Discussion

This panel brings together five leaders whose advocacy spans continents, showing that Asian LGBTQIA+ movements are not confined to any one country or community.

Mei-Ying Juan of the Taiwan Tongzhi (LGBTQ+) Hotline Association connects grassroots social work with corporate partnerships to advance workplace equality.

Kyoka Shodladd, a TIME100 Next honoree and founder of Queering Bangkok, is building the Asian Pride Alliance to unite Queer Asian communities worldwide, including diaspora networks far from home.

Koko Tiamsai, Co-President of InterPride, brings a scholar’s lens to identity and belonging across Asia and the Global South.

Vickky Noppasorn Sitthiwetch, Co-Founder and Chairperson of Phuket Pride, has spent 17 years turning local organizing in Thailand into international influence.

Horim Yi, Co-Executive Director of Rainbow Action Korea, leads the fight for marriage equality across Korea and East Asia.

Together, they’ll explore what it means to build queer solidarity across borders, languages, and political systems — and how Asian and diaspora communities are shaping the future of the global Pride movement.
