Nakhone Keodara is a gay/human rights/anti-war activist who is passionate about fighting for social justice for all of humanity. Born under the Leo sun in the land of a million elephants, otherwise known as Laos, Nakhone immigrated to the United States at the age of 12 in 1986 as a refugee seeking political asylum.

Nakhone believes that all the injustices that he bore witness to throughout this life has prepared him to become an activist for all of humanity.

Currently, Nakhone volunteers his free time as a Campaign Coordinator for A Peaceful Legacy: Campaign to Remove Bombs from Laos. He also serves on the Advocacy Committee of Legacies of War, a DC-based advocacy organization, spearheading A Peaceful Legacy Campaign, founded in 2004 to raise awareness about the history of the Vietnam War-era bombing in Laos and advocate for the clearance of unexploded bombs, to provide space for healing the wounds of war, and to create greater hope for a future of peace.

The passage of Prop 8 in California compelled Nakhone to form a not-for-profit national grassroots organization the Gays United Network in November of 2008, actively working toward the repeal of this unjust law.

In May of 2009, in response to his frustrations with the lack of visibility, access and representation of gay Asian men in the major gay media, Nakhone started his own blog SoCal Voice in order to give voice to and chronicle the loves and lives of the ENTIRE LGBT community in Southern California and beyond.

An aspiring actor-turned-aspiring screenwriter-turned blogger, Nakhone is most grateful for the realization that his ego trip to California back in April of 2006 has been transformed into a beautiful spiritual journey.
