When Rainbow Community Angels was founded in 2023, LGBTIQA+ youth events were getting programmed, but then cancelled due to threats. As members of the queer community, our founders knew the pain of discrimination and wanted to show up for the next generation of LGBTIQA+ people.
In the 2024-2025 financial year, we weathered the impacts of the US election, the Queensland directive against gender affirming care for trans young people, and the attempts during the Australian Federal Election to use trans people for political division. Rainbow Community Angels responded to the tensions and fears within the community by coming together, training people in our culture of non violence and community care.
While the emerging threat is that events simply won’t be programmed – Rainbow Community Angels will keep on showing up for LGBTQIA+ young people and families when events are threatened.
We are proud of our impact and you can read more in our 2024-2025 Impact Report.
