Philadelphia Asian & Queer

Philadelphia Asian & Queer (PAQ) is a volunteer-led social organization that strives to engage queer (LGBTQIA+) Asian/Asian-American folks within the greater Philadelphia area. Through a range of advocacy, social, and supportive programming, we commit to building and uniting our collective voices as a queer, Asian/Asian-American community.

Asian/Asian-American: We use this term to include many ethnic identities, including East Asian, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, and Mixed-Race folks.

Queer: We use this term to include folks who self-identify as non-cisgender and/or non-straight and are invested in the well-being of queer people and communities
