We welcome members and friends of GLBT Northsiders to the unofficial GLBTNorthsiders web site. Part of the purpose of this site is to promote awareness of the GLBT Northsiders organization and to make it easier to keep track of upcoming events of interest to the Northside GLBT community.

Camden Lions Pancake Breakfast

Welcome!

Welcome to the Camden Gay Neighbors' League/GLBTNorthsiders web site! It's no secret that Camden, Near North, and NE Minneapolis are becoming the Twin Cities' new communities of choice for gays and lesbians because of the convenient locations, great housing, and relatively affordable prices. Now that we're here, it's time for us to get organized. So far, the Camden Gay Neighbors' League exists only in the minds of a few of us Northsiders. We believe that our neighborhoods need a social and grass-roots political organization to help celebrate and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods, and we're working to make the organization a reality.

We also plan to use this site to promote and publicize the loose-knit but highly successful GLBTNorthsiders Yahoo!® group. A new events page is here, complete with the first of set of calendar pages which list upcoming events of interest to Northside GLBT residents.

Our vision for a Neighbors' League is not exclusive - which means that membership will be open to anyone of legal age, regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, religion, national origin, or anything else. However, we do plan on sponsoring GLBT-friendly social events and are hoping to promote GLBT-friendly businesses, so we expect that most of our members will be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.

The newest feature of the site is the CGNL web log (blog) that is now available. Although some blogs are like personal diaries, ours is a group blog. The blog will give us an online forum in which to share ideas and experiences. Visit the blog and take it for a spin. If you have ideas for improving the blog, send them to us via the Feedback Form.

Watch this site for news and announcements. We'd like to hear from you! To be put on our e-mailing list (we respect everyone's privacy and will not share mailing lists with anyone), or to share information or to volunteer, please use our feedback form
