Rainbow Bridge Social Club

More 'rainbow' headlines, but this endeavour is local, and has a very different aim, with a similarly serious intent:

Rainbow Bridge: Mother and son start social club for LGBTQI youth with intellectual disabilities
Lucy Carter, The World Today, (ABC Radio) 20th October 2015
For many teenagers who come out as gay, working out how to start their first same-sex relationship can be a difficult process to navigate. For young people with an intellectual disability, it is even harder.

One mother and her teenage son are trying to make this experience easier for young people in New South Wales by starting up the state's first LGBTQI social club for 16 to 26 year olds with intellectual disabilities ...


Relationships and Private Stuff commented on Facebook with more information:
... Rainbow Bridge social club ... will start in late January 2016. The project is funded by My Choice Matters - The NSW Consumer Development Fund and supported by FRANS in Croydon and Twenty 10 in Chippendale.
