Greenlandic Broadcasting Corporation, August 18, 2014.〕 It was a revival of an earlier organization, also named Qaamaneq, which had folded due to lack of active participation,〔("WorldWatch: Greenland’s First Gay Pride" ). ''NewNowNext'', June 15, 2010.〕 resulting from the phenomenon of LGBT Greenlanders often moving to the mainland of Denmark to participate in a larger LGBT community.〔("Homoseksuelle mobbes i Grønland" ). dr.dk, July 27, 2008.〕 The original organization, active from 2002 to 2007, had been led by Erik Olsen.〔 LGBT Qaamaneq’s aim is to work for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people’s political, social, cultural and workplace equality at every level of society.〔("LGBT-forening: Lykkelig over ny lov i Grønland - trods religiøs modstand" ). dr.dk, May 28, 2015.〕 The association seeks to work against discrimination and to function as a dedicated lobby for the purpose of influencing lawmakers, for example in areas such as marriages, adoption, the artificial insemination of lesbians, and rights for transpersons.〔 The group achieved a notable success when same-sex marriage in Greenland was legalized by the Inatsisartut on May 26, 2015.〔〔("Nuuk OKs same-sex marriage but hurdles remain" ).
