Queer Asian Youth



We provide social spaces for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, queer, curious, undecided, or questioning East and Southeast Asian youth and their friends. QAY: Queer Asian Youth, is an initiative of ACAS: Asian Community AIDS Services in Toronto, Canada.

QAY established in 2000 and our first regular event happened in that January. Regular QAY Events include the famous Bubble Tea Lounge, Movie Nites, Games Nites, and some women-only events. Events usually attract from 30 to 80 people, and there are always many new people who come for the first time!

In July 2003, We also held a 4-day gathering called F3(Facts for Friction): A Queer Asian Youth Conference in Toronto.
