The South Asian Lesbian & Gay Association of New York City (SALGA) serves to promote awareness, tolerance, acceptance, empowerment and safe spaces for sexual minorities and people of all gender identities, who trace their heritage to South Asia or who identify as South Asian.
Our mission is to enable community members to establish cultural visibility and take a stand against oppression and discrimination in all its forms. We pledge to encourage leadership development, provide multi-generational support, work towards immigration advocacy, address health issues such as HIV / AIDS, and foster political involvement in the interest of creating a more tolerant society.

Are you sick of the hearts? The flowers? the chocolates? The overpriced dinners? Those repulsive, chalky conversation hearts? Let the love doctors at SALGA cure what ails you at:
Kaala Dil (BLACK HEARTS) After Work Lounge Event
A SALGA Event in Association with GAPIMNY and Q-Wave
Sutra is your prescription-strength antidote to everything
panic-inducing about Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking to decompress from a bad VD date, a tear-stained chocolate binge, or just a stressful day at work…
Wednesday, February 18th - 8pm onwards
Sutra Lounge [ 16 1st Ave. @ 1st St. - Map ]
With DJ KRIS spinning Bolly Beats, Lounge & House
$5 donation @ door
…join SALGA, GAPIMNY and Q-Wave for a stress-free midweek unwinding session courtesy of a few “Downward Dog” cocktails, Sutra’s low-key fab vibe, and a bevy of other sexy (read: single) folks.
And hey, if February 14th wasn’t enough and you’re still looking to set the stage for seduction, get a load of Sutra’s intimate candlelight and plush velvet couches — or get right to the point with their naughty tipples like the “Finger B–g” and “Sacred Sex.”
