Who we are
“A/PGF is an non-profit, social and educational group established for gay Asians and friends who share an interest in Asian cultures and experiences. A/PGF's primary purpose is to provide a supportive environment where the interaction between members is enjoyable, safe and enriching.”
Membership is open to anyone 18 or older, without regard to race, creed, color, sex, occupation, national origin, citizenship or sexual orientation. Come as a guest first: you are welcome at up to three events.
Founded in 1980 as Asian/Pacific Lesbians and Gays (A/PLG), we are one of the oldest continuously-existing gay Asian organizations in the United States.
Coming up
