The Gay Mennonite Amish Network (GMAN), an affiliate of GLB Anabaptists, was established on April 25, 2025, in the Township of Perth East, Ontario, Canada.
Seeing a serious need for education, support, friendship and networking for gay and bisexual men in the Perth County area of Ontario, GMAN was established to meet their needs for a safe place to understand their sexuality within an Anabaptist context. Perth County is the centre of Old Order Amish Country, and has a significant number of Amish Mennonites, Old Order and Conservative Mennonites, as well as Old Colony Mennonites. Many gay Mennonites and Amish have little or no support in Perth and nearby counties.
The GMAN maintains a list of gay/bisexual resources in the Perth County area and elsewhere, and is always open for confidential and educational discussions. Please email: milvertonam@gmail.com
