ABOUT US
Welcome to Gold Coast Rainbow Communities, the Gold Coast’s hub for all things LGBTIQA+.
Gold Coast Rainbow Communities is the Gold Coast’s leading LGBTIQA+ organisation. We are an incorporated, not-for-profit, community-based, gay- and gender-diverse-led organisation. We host a diverse range of LGBTIQA+ community events, from sport, leisure and wellness activities to day trips, BBQs, picnics, parties, yacht cruises.
Our flagship event is our annual Gold Coast Pride Festival, held in late March and featuring Australia’s only Pride Parade on the beach!
We aim to meet the needs of our community by providing community-focused events, information, resources, pathways, education and advocacy. We believe in the value, validity and visibility of same-sex and gender-diverse people, and are committed to providing a platform for the rainbow community on the Gold Coast.
EVERYONE is welcome to join our community.
