The objectives of GLHSC are to promote an interest in the collection, study and dissemination of knowledge of worldwide philatelic material that depicts:
* Notable men and women and their contributions to society for whom historical evidence exists of homosexual or bisexual orientation,
* Mythology, historical events and ideas significant in the history of gay culture,
* Flora and fauna scientifically proven to having prominent homosexual behavior, and
* Even though emphasis is placed on the above aspects of stamp collecting, GLHSC strongly encourages other philatelic endeavors.
