 Groupe InternationalVILGA - Vaud International Lesbian and Gay Association Settling in to Switzerland, new to canton Vaud or just passing through ? Come to VILGA. VILGA meets once a month, bringing together Vaud’s international lesbian and gay community, along with their Swiss friends. Gay life doesn’t end once you step outside of London’s West End, New York’s Chelsea or the Marais in Paris. Find out what’s going on right here on your doorstep and get to meet likeminded people looking to make new friends.
Canton Vaud is home to a number of multinational corporations and international organizations as well as international educational establishments, within which a number of non-Swiss lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are working. The region is also welcoming thousands of tourists and visitors each year, many of whom are from the LGBT community. Finding friends who understand our lifestyle can be a challenge at times. There is nothing more isolating than moving to a new country, especially when you are not part of the straight mainstream. Finding your feet within the lesbian and gay community can also be difficult, especially for those who might be a little older and feel the LGBT club or bar scene is not as welcoming as it used to be. The idea behind VILGA is to create a social group which welcomes non-Swiss and their Swiss friends from across the LGBT community. This should be a safe place where people from all backgrounds and cultures can meet and get to know where they live. For more information contact Brian or Anne-Claude at :
