About the Project

Into The Rainbow: Welcome Pack for Loved Ones will be a collection of materials and activities supplied to loved ones of those who have "came out" as 2SLGBTQIA+. These materials include definitions, FAQs, personal stories from community members, local and national resources for support, and so much more. The project is based on the belief that knowledge is power, and giving people the resources to educate themselves and ask questions will create stronger relationships and communities.
