The Gay Asian Pacific Alliance (GAPA) in San Francisco Bay Area, is an organization dedicated to furthering the interests of gay & bisexual Asian/Pacific Islanders by creating awareness, by developing a positive collective identity and by establishing a supportive community.

GAPA was formed from the need for an organization to address, through a democratic process, social, cultural and political issues affecting the gay & bisexual Asian/Pacific Islander community. In July 1987, several members from the Asian Gay Men's Support Group at Berkeley's Pacific Center met and discussed the need to integrate and nurture a growing gay & bisexual Asian/Pacific Islander identity and to foster positive role models within our community. After several monthly meetings and a business retreat, the Gay Asian Pacific Alliance was formally organized in January 1988.

Although based in San Francisco, members come from all parts of the Bay area and beyond. GAPA was created for men of all Asian/Pacific Islander backgrounds. Whether we are immigrants or American-born, gay or bisexual Asian/Pacific Islander men, we all share common areas:

• Sexual Identity
• Racial and cultural bond
• Familial background and values
