Minnesota Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Ally Campus Alliance

The Minnesota Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Ally Campus Alliance, also Minnesota GLBTA Campus Alliance, is a statewide coalition of students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members uniting for change on Minnesota college and university campuses.

The organization, founded in 2006, strives to build a statewide network of individuals and organizations working for equality and justice on issues of gender and sexual diversity; empower the voices of groups that are underserved and underrepresented in our campus communities; and create welcoming, affirming, and safe environments on college and university campuses throughout the state of Minnesota.

It hosts a variety of annual programming, including the Minnesota OUT! Campus Conference and the Spring Dinner.

    Kringelein: I’m going to live. I’m going to have a good time while I can.
    The Baron: That’s my motto, Kringelein. A short life and a gay one.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    It is the lesbian in us who is creative, for the dutiful daughter of the fathers in us is only a hack.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Indolence is heaven’s ally here,
    And energy the child of hell:
    The Good Man pouring from his pitcher clear
    But brims the poisoned well.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
