Stonewall DFL represents the DFL in the LGBTQ community and represents the LGBTQ community in the DFL.
As the official LGBTQ outreach arm of the DFL, we participate in Pride and other events in every corner of the state – educating and registering voters, promoting our endorsed candidates, and creating a pipeline for LGBTQ people to get involved in the DFL Party.
We remind the Party of – and help it fulfill – its obligations of outreach and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.
Electing Champions for our Community
Stonewall DFL works for a safe and equitable Minnesota by endorsing and electing LGBTQ and allied candidates for public office in and in the Minnesota DFL Party.

Whoever @JoeBiden’s VP candidate is, we know she’ll face relentless sexist and potentially racist attacks from the Trump campaign in her quest to make history. RT so she knows #WeHaveHerBack.
Proud to announce that my candidacy is endorsed by @StonewallDFL, the LGBTQ Caucus of the DFL. As we get closer to legal equity for LGBTQ+ Minnesotans, it's time to address the economic hardship that the LGBTQ+ community faces such as homelessness and lack of adequate healthcare. https://t.co/kKhxVu2cdH
