Why
"Long Yang"?
The organization is named after Lord Long Yang, the lover of an
Emperor, referred to in Chinese literature from the Zhou Dynasty.
What does the LYC logo represent ?
It resembles the Chinese "Ying Yang" symbol. The two hands - the East
&
the West are holding on to each other.

the Chapter.

We're working to create an environment for gay
men who are looking for an alternative socialoutlet to the bar scene.
Friendly & non-threatening environment
Our members come from various backgrounds, encompassing a diverse
cross-section of age groups, education, and employment backgrounds.
You might find some people in the club are completely out of the
closet,

be in the process of coming out or are still private about their sexual
orientation. At LYC - Vancouver, it doesn't matter which situation
applies to you. LYC is a non-threatening, safe environment for gay men
whether single or coupled.
