LGBT Qaamaneq – Landsforeningen for Bøsser, Lesbiske, Biseksuelle og Transpersoner i Grønland (English: LGBT Qaamaneq – The Greenlandic National Organisation for Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgender persons) was a lobby group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Greenland.[1]
The association was founded in 2014.[2] It was a revival of an earlier organization, also named Qaamaneq, which had folded due to lack of active participation,[3] resulting from the phenomenon of LGBT Greenlanders often moving to the mainland of Denmark to participate in a larger LGBT community.[4] The original organization, active from 2002 to 2007, had been led by Erik Olsen.[4]
LGBT Qaamaneq's aim is to work for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people's political, social, cultural and workplaceequality at every level of society.[5] The association seeks to work against discrimination and to function as a dedicated lobby for the purpose of influencing lawmakers, for example in areas such as marriages, adoption, the artificial insemination of lesbians, and rights for transpersons.[5]
