Information
Summary Information Long Yang Club Canberra (LYCC) is part of a global network of Long Yang Clubs, whose goal is to foster friendship between gay Asians and non-Asians. LYCC has been around since 1990, and endeavours to offers a social atmosphere where the principles of the club can be realised. The club meets for various activities throughout the year, at least monthly, but often twice monthly. There are also special events, such as Christmas in July or short trips away from Canberra.
Welcome to a brief introduction to Long Yang Canberra The Long Yang Club Canberra is an informal social group of gay men where Asian and Caucasians can meet. As the song goes, "we are one, but we are many!" The name 'Long Yang' comes from the classic Chinese novel, 'A Dream of Red Mansions'. Long Yang Jun was a minister and favourite of Wei Wang, the Prince of Wei. (See links below). The Long Yang Club is a non-religious, obligation-free friendship group for Caucasian and Asian men who just want to socialise together. We have sister organisations in many parts of the world with which we maintain strong relations and communication channels. (see http://longyangclub.org/) We are especially concerned in helping Asian guys make contact with others in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere and in offering support to them. We are a group of private, individual gay guys who have faced the same isolation and concerns as many others. For many men, accepting their sexuality can be a long and difficult process, instead of fun and discovery. While they may achieve the ultimate goal of meeting other men, the way there often seems daunting. Some gay clubs may appear obsessed with public activists and visibility. Likewise, some gay venues may seem too overt and unfriendly, and confront the novice with fear of recognition. The issues of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) also worry many guys. Actually, none of these need be feared with the provision of proper education and action. That is why the Long Yang Club Canberra offers a no-hassle opportunity to meet with men of like mind, and also to meet settled Asian and Caucasian couples, to learn more about our lifestyles. While we can introduce you to the various services available in the gay community, we do not offer counselling, medical advice, monetary service or religious views. We do offer you the opportunity to meet us and learn a little more about your options. The rest is up to you, so what do you have to lose. Help us to help you. Check out our calendar for the next function. Feel free to email the Secretary. We have a number of members of various Asian nationalities who act as assistants, and we may be able to arrange for a person of your nationality to contact you.
