Chinese Rainbow Organization

Chinese Rainbow Association (CRA) is a gay Chinese social support organization based in Los Angeles, California. CRA was established by volunteers to meet the unique needs of the gay Chinese community in Southern California in 1996. Our mission is to promote friendship and unity, provide assistance, and foster social and political awareness among the gay Chinese. Most of our members are gay Chinese and many came originally from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other parts of the world. CRA is striving to become a home away from home to our members, especially to new comers (new immigrants and those newly out of closet). We have also been working with many local and international gay organizations to coordinate our efforts to advance our common causes over the years. CRA organizes a monthly meeting/party usually on the last Saturday of every month. We also sponsor other fun and interesting events. The official functions at the monthly meetings are conducted in Mandarin and English. We welcome gay Chinese and everyone else who supports our cause.
