The United Territories Of Polynesian Islanders' Alliance (U.T.O.P.I.A) located in San Francisco, California is proud to announce its inception. The organization was formed to provide support to the Polynesian Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender community. The club originated in March 1998 as GPAC (Gay Polynesians Alliance/California). In February 1999, the name was changed to UTOPIA. The new name is better suited to represent the diversity of our club. UTOPIA is a support organization for GLBT Polynesians and friends consisting of members from Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, Tahiti and Fiji. UTOPIA hopes to strengthen its alliance by recruiting members from all of Polynesia.
