The GLAM logo

GLAM (Gay, Lesbian and Mensan) was a group for UK members of Mensa, the high-IQ society.

It was originally the UK Mensa Gaysig. However following a ruling by British Mensa that all official Sigs (Special Interest Groups) had to have their membership lists controlled by British Mensa headquarters, the group was forced to become independent to safeguard the privacy of its members.

GLAM organised a Sunday lunch once a month in a member's home, and an evening meal once a month in a London restaurant. There were occasional weekends away and other events.

During the 1990s the group published three issues of Sticky Fingers, a journal of erotic fiction written by members.
