QAPA is the New England organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning people of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage in the Boston and New England area. We host a monthly discussion series called QAPA Speaks Out. This month's Speak Out will have a special guest, Patrick Cheng, the noted theologist. This special QAPA Speaks Out will be open to all, including allies of all races, genders and sexual orientations.

"Homophobia is not a family value, it's not a religious value, and it's not an Asian American value. Love is." -Patrick Cheng.

Patrick Cheng is a seminary professor, theologian, attorney, and ordained minister. He is also an out gay Chinese American man, a Bostonian, and a member of QAPA. Who better to help us talk about religion(s), spirituality(s) and queerness!

This special QAPA Speaks Out will be open to all, including allies of all races, genders and sexual orientations.But as always with our Speak Out series, we'll be confronting some potentially hard topics, so we'll need you to keep an open mind!
