November Meeting: Turkey, Turducken, or Korean Fried Chicken?
What kind of traditions define you as a queer asian? Do you celebrate the New Year with fireworks and dragon dances, or by starting fireworks on the dance floor? Does your Thanksgiving end with Apple Pie, or do you cleanse your palette with a few episodes of Queer as Folk? Join us for a discussion of traditions and customs at our special Thanksgiving meeting where we celebrate the diversity within Queer Asian America.

October Meeting: Friendships in the Gaysian World
Are you “the gay friend” all your straight friends refer to? Do you have a fag hag? Can two gays just be friends? During this meeting we explore the relationships between gay asian men and their friends and whether being gay + asian inhibits or facilitates friendships with different social groups. Join us for a friendly discussion October 11th and, of course, bring a friend!
Also, for those who came last time, we will also devote some time to continue last month’s anonymous quesiton activity, and provide the opportunity for new folk to throw in their own questions.
