Council Overview
The Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans was established by the Minnesota Legislature to work for the implementation of economic, social, legal, and political equality for Minnesota's community of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender expansive, queer, intersex, asexual, and/or two-spirit.
Our legislative mandate includes serving as a liaison between community and government and advising the Governor, the legislature, and other state agencies on issues affecting LGBTQIA2S+ individuals.
The Council helps ensure LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans are represented in state government and officials have expert advice on LGBTQIA2S+ issues. Our core functions include advocacy, research, engagement, and public awareness.
