Founded in 1983, the GBA began as a trade association fighting inequality from hostile authorities. Through collaboration with other groups, it helped secure legal equality for LGBTQ+ people. Today, the GBA serves as a modern-day gay chamber of commerce—by "gay," we mean the entire LGBTQ+ community.

We provide:

•  Networking opportunities for LGBTQ+ professionals
•  Training in legal, marketing, and business development
•  Advocacy to ensure our rights are not eroded
•  Support for gay-owned start-ups and entrepreneurs

The GBA is operated by the Gay Professional Network (GPN), under the leadership of Jean-François Dor and JFDE.
