Interested in LGBT life in Jyväskylä?
You might have noticed that almost all of the information in www.jklseta.fi is in Finnish, but don’t worry, here we have info also in English! We don’t have everything in English but we’ve tried to include all the most important bits below, including how to contact us, what groups we run, where our parties are etc. Hope you find it useful!
You might have also noticed that Jyväskylä isn’t exactly San Francisco or Brighton, but by Finnish standards it’s still a pretty good place to be LGBT-wise. SETA Jyväskylä is the town’s largest – and only – support and social group for LGBT people, or anyone connected with sexual or gender minorities. It’s affiliated to the national SETA organisation based in Helsinki. (www.seta.fi)
