ABOUT US

Welcome to Gold Coast Pride + Gold Coast Rainbow Communities, the Gold Coast’s hub for all things LGBTIQA+.

We are a community-based not-for-profit organisation led by a group of passionate and experienced volunteers.

 

Gold Coast Rainbow Communities is the Gold Coast's leading LGBTIQA+ organisation, and the annual Gold Coast Pride Festival is the crown jewel in our yearly calendar.

 

In addition to our annual Festival, we provide year-round community-events, information, resources, pathways, education and advocacy.

 

We believe in the value, validity and visibility of same-sex-attracted and gender-diverse people, and are committed to providing a platform for the rainbow community here on the Gold Coast.

​

Gold Coast Rainbow Communities was formed in 2020 and have held two fabulous Gold Coast Pride Festivals in 2021 (Kirra Beach) and 2022 (Macintosh Island).

 

We host a range of LGBTIQA+ community activities, from sport and social groups to holidays, trans clothes swaps, BBQs, picnics, creative workshops, nature walks, dance parties and other gatherings  - as well our annual Pride Festival, featuring Australia’s very first Pride Parade on the beach. 

​

Everyone is welcome in our rainbow community.

 Be sure to come up and introduce yourself at our next event - we'd love to say hello!
