did you know?

Long Yang was a handsome youth, born in China around 260 BC. He became the favorite of Anxi, a ruler of the Wei kingdom.  Their relationship is recorded in the Annals of the Warring Period, and celebrated in a lovely poem by Ruan Ji (210-263 AD).  You can read about the story behind the name, written by a member of our Boston chapter. It is definitely a worthwhile read.

Click here to see what’s coming up! If you are a member of LYCLA, and you want to host a get-together (potluck, party, movie night, game night, wine-tasting) or suggest an outing (beach, tennis, movies, hiking, dinner), please contact us.   We would be happy to help you organize and publicize the event.

The first Long Yang Club was founded in London in 1983 and is now the world's largest gay "East-West" group. From this beginning, the Long Yang Club now encompasses no less than 35 local groups or 'Chapters' located in cities in 9 different countries spanning 4 continents. It is truly a "global village". All Chapters are members of the umbrella body Long Yang Club International ("LYCI").  Membership in any Chapter is honored by all the other Chapters around the world. Each Chapter is independently managed, but all share the same "family" name and the same logo. This logo is a "two hands friendship" design. It is actually a stylized but distinctive version of the "Yin Yang" concept.

Opportunities!

Would you like to host a Potluck Party at your place?  You will have our help in promoting the event and preparing if needed, as well as clean-up detail.  Typically our LYCLA parties draw a crowd of 25-50 guys.  Respond

If you would like to host a smaller gathering, for instance, a movie or game night, that would be great too.  The more intimate gatherings are easier to plan, and we would normally set a limit of 10 or so people (however many your home or apartment allows). Respond   

There is also the possibility of small get-togethers at outside locations, for instance, a coffee shop in WeHo, Long Beach, OC, Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley or San Fernando Valley.  These gatherings are totally informal, come as you are events, and are open to anyone who shows up.  Respond

On June 14th, 2009 a small group of us ducked out of the Pride festival to enjoy the hilarious gay-friendly film Dim Sum Funeral at the Sunset 5 in WeHo...
