LGBT+ people taking spirituality into our own hands, redefining ourselves and finding our roles in the world. Remembering that we are people of magic - and learning how to use it!

GPN is a membership organisation that operates since 2010 on a non profit basis. The excess from the membership fees after drinks and room hire, when applicable, pays for the website, promotion, organising, stationary, transport & banners. 
 From now on, we are going to move to various venues, always supporting whenever possible LGBT owned or operated venues, occasionally some will be more exclusive that may impose a dress code.
 In 2017 more than ever, membership is important for all of us. Sadly we still need to tackle homophobia and educate and promote our fellow gay men, professionally and socially.  We all have been affected directly or indirectly. 
 We need to educated and make sure that education in schools, families and everywhere teach love and respect for all mankind. GPN does this through our many connections: we are part of the LGBT Consortium, linked to the Gay Business Association and myGwork where you can post your CV and look for employment free of prejudice or find the best available from the LGBT Community to ensure diversity in your workforce.
 Your membership not only gives you free entry to all our social and networking events, unless otherwise indicated, you get access to discounted and tailored insurance,  free legal and  financial advise, free property or events consultations and free entries to many clubs, other events,  discount and other perks through our newsletter.
 You can communicate with registered members through these media: Facebook Page Group and LinkedIn. I invite you to join these groups if you have not already done so.
 I invite you to visit www.gpn.one and discover our website where in the events section you will see other exclusive events, such as lunch in the Guildhall's Crypts with the Lord Mayor and other dinners in private  members clubs. 
 The Gay Professional Network is your platform to promote your cause, your business, venue and yourself. It  helps your further your business or career and makes meaningful business and social contacts. You get connected, proactive and productive.
 It is also a get together of like minded people who enjoy meeting other people. All very nice people in a relaxed atmosphere.
I very much look forward to seeing you again next Thursday, 15th June, at the Glasshouse in Camden.
Jean-François.

Vanity von Glow at the Phoenix on the 16th July

Phoenix Artist Club has a new event for you.
A Night In Soho with Vanity von Glow
 
A Night In Soho with Vanity von Glow
Sun Jul 16 2017 at 08:30 pm
Phoenix Artist Club, 1 Phoenix Street, London, United Kingdom
Get Tickets
"The audience is transfixed and attention is not swayed at any time... one of the hottest nights out in Soho" ***** LondonTheatre1

A Night in Soho is unlike any other, for once the boutique shops of Seven Dials shut their doors, and the theatres take their final curtain call, the busy streets empty, and all is quiet. But the art-deco doors of the legendary Phoenix Artist Club are only just opening, and it's at this time that the infamous characters of Soho, from the Vaudevillians to the stars of the big screen, come out to play.
Descending the marble staircase and ordering their usual at the bar, they unwind as the glamorous diva and internationally ignored superstar Vanity von Glow entertains them with unique renditions of iconic pop songs and dark humour on every subject of global fame which eludes her, from her opinions on her celebrity nemeses' to personal heartache.
You never know just who might take to the stage at A Night in Soho, so when all's said and done and you leave the club just in time for the last train home (or later if you so choose), keep what you have witnessed a secret, as it's moments like these that make The Phoenix Artist Club the magical place it is.
Vanity von Glow enjoys a reputation as a main fixture in Soho cabaret and has enjoyed a continuous run of her popular Sunday night shows for five consecutive years, which has seen her perform with popstars Lily Allen and Sophie Ellis Bextor and appear on TV with superstar Adele.
With piano accompaniment from Matt Bateman
Directed by Stuart Saint
Produced by The Phoenix Artist Club

LGBT parents appeal

Hello,
We're sad to announce that the funding we had managed to access for the LGBT parents site is no longer available. We desperately want to keep the website going (and importantly keep it FREE for ALL users) but we need your support to do this. 
We have increasing annual running costs, and simply can't afford the ongoing costs without funding.  Our long term aim is to be able to maintain the site using funding from advertisers, but we are unable to do that with the website in its current form.  
If you can donate anything to keep us going, and help us create a long term, sustainable funding solution so we can keep it free for the LGBT community and its allies, we would really appreciate it - please see our Crowdfunder page here for more details.
love
Lynne, Claire and Alex
