THH Pride & Culture Program
Working alongside LGBTIQ+ multicultural and faith-based community groups, this program supports the health and wellbeing of people with diverse cultural and faith identities within the LGBTIQ+ community. Our goal is to create events that amplify multicultural and faith-based LGBTIQ+ voices, providing opportunities to celebrate culture, identity, and spirituality while connecting with others.

We recognise that people from multicultural and faith backgrounds often face unique challenges in finding supportive spaces. The Pride & Culture Program is about bringing communities together, raising awareness of the incredible queer social groups out there, and fostering new connections.
