Gay Asian Pacific Alliance Men’s Chorus

GAPA Men’s Chorus was established in 1989 shortly after GAPA formed. Our first performance was at the Metropolitan Community Church San Francisco on November 3, 1989 in a humorous “talent/un-talent” show. The founding group wanted to celebrate their respective cultures through song and showcase a strong, proud collective of queer API men in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was a way to come out, establish a creative and social support network, and raise awareness within the wider LGBTQ and API communities.

We remain GAPA’s longest running, uninterrupted program. True to our mission, as an all-API queer men’s chorus, our ethnic and sexual identities are front and center and in your face, which has the most direct impact to representing our achievements and the diversity in our communities.
