The League of Gentlefellows
The League
The League of Gentlemen (LoG) is an informal grouping of Tasmanian Gay Men and their friends who meet in a social setting on a regular basis (in a non threatening and safe environment) to celebrate their lives and enjoy one another’s company. The League was established by a group of people in a coffee shop commenting on the number of GLBTI people moving into Tasmania and the need to make them welcome. While the League started in 2003 in the Huon area, there are now chapters or significant membership in other areas of the state including the following:
- Kingborough/Huon Valley
- Greater Hobart area, including the Hobart, Clarence and Glenorchy LGAs
- Greater Launceston area
- Cradle Coast (West/North West Coast)
- New Norfolk/Collinsvale
There are also an increasing number of expatriate Tasmanian members who meet in other States.
