What kind of people belong to GLS?
Most of the membership and participants in GLS identify with the larger gay, lesbian, transgendered and bisexual (GLBT) community. Our leadership, membership, and participation is equally split between men and women. Our activities are co-ed. Most of us are also avid outdoorsmen and women who both appreciate the unique recreational opportunities that Colorado and the West have to offer and want to take advantage of them. Many of us belong to the Sierra Club and support its environmental and conservation philosophy. We seek to be good stewards. We also appreciate the opportunities that membership in a group can provide. This includes learning about and visiting new areas, having regular access to organized outings, having people to do things with and to learn from, and generally being social. Our outings tend to be “chatty” and may not appeal to those who prefer solitude. We are people who enjoy being around other people, but are an independent-minded crowd.
