Toronto’s social and support group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans & other queer Italians. AVANTI was started in 1996 as a social and support group. Our membership has grown to include women and men from all walks of life who look forward to our year-round schedule of activities that celebrate our Italian culture. AVANTI strives to foster a sense of goodwill and understanding of our diverse culture among its members and within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community — as well as the Italian community at large. We consider ourselves to be a resource for anyone seeking information, support and friendship. Membership in AVANTI is free. Tell-A-LSBN
