In LEGATO's early years, they took part in many LGBT-related activities, such as opening stands in spring festivals, arranging weekly meetings, broadcasting movies, putting up posters, etc..
After keeping quiet, two years later, with the GayAnkara group being the forefoot of the project, LEGATO found life again.
LEGATO began to spread out from Ankara to Istanbul, starting at Boğaziçi University.
Soon, campus meetings were organized, a website was made, and the group engaged in many cultural activities.
On 19 January 2002 none of the universities were able to maintain the attendance levels by themselves and intended continuance, so all Istanbul LEGATO branches decided to merge as one unified group.
