Stonewall Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawai'i

Stonewall Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawai'i The Stonewall Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawai'i is Hawai'i's only LGBTQIA+ political, legislative &/or policy focused organization.

The Stonewall Caucus has been dedicated to fight for justice and equality for Hawai'i's LGBTQIA+ community since 2001. Vision:
Everyone in Hawai'i will have equal rights and live with dignity. The Mission:
The Stonewall Caucus is dedicated to representing Hawai‘i’s LGBTQIA+ community by supporting and promoting the values and positions of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i in promoting justice and equality regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression for such issues and concerns as: Government Operations, Government Rule-Making and Practices, Government Funding and Appropriations, and Welfare and Social Service Benefits; Hate Crimes; Relationship Rights and Responsibilities; Parenting, Adoption and Definitions of Family; Employment; Housing; Public Accommodations; Health; Education; Environment; Sustainable Development; Food Insecurity; Tourism; Economic Development; Economic Inequality; Ending Racism within the LGBTQIA+ Community; and Serving our Country in Military Service. The Caucus will also protect the advancements that we all have made as a community for our community. Stonewall - Stonewall is in reference to the 1969 Stonewall Riots that took place in New York City outside of the Stonewall Inn. These riots began the modern fight for justice and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community across the United States and around the world. LGBTQIA+ = L - Le***an, G - Gay, B – Bisexual/Bi-gender, T - Transgender, Q - Q***r/Questioning, I - Intersex, A - Asexual/Agender, and “+” – It is the catch all for the other ways one refers to their gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression that was not listed previously including but not limited to māhū, aikāne, pansexual, two spirit, etc. Gender – It is a social and cultural construct. It’s how a person’s identity relates to society’s idea of what it means to be a woman, man, neither, or a mix of many genders. Sexual Orientation - Refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions with respect to gender(s). Gender Identity – A person’s deeply-held inner feelings of whether they are female, male, both, or neither. Their gender identity isn’t seen by others. Gender Expression - How one chooses to express their gender identity through their name, pronouns, clothing, hair style, behavior, voice, and/or body features.

Our National Coming Out Day Resource Fair may be canceled for tomorrow, but a little rain can’t dim our Pride. 🌈☔️

We’re disappointed we won’t get to gather, celebrate, and connect with everyone as planned, but the safety of our community comes first.

We’re working with our UH partners to see if there’s another date in October when we can come together. In the meantime, stay safe, stay proud, and know that our Pride will shine through any storm.

Mahalo for your understanding and for continuing to show up for Hawaiʻi’s LGBTQIA+ community.
