OVER THE RAINBOW LAUNCH PARTY! 

An LGBTIQA+ dating and connection event for over 40's

(and their friends)

Wine isn't the only thing that gets better with age!

Hosted by comedians Nelly Thomas and Dean Arcuri

WHAT IS OVER THE RAINBOW?

WEBSITE

Nelly Thomas and Dean Arcuri are launching a series of 'Dating and Connection' events for LGBTIQA+ folks over the age of 40. The idea is to come together in a relaxed and safe space - with people your own age - where you might meet a date, a friend or someone you'd like to introduce to a friend.

Our philsophy is: Match, Refer or Date!

Nelly and Dean will make sure the monthly events are fun and relaxed and special consideration will be given to people who are a bit shy and/or need some help in the dating game. There will be some group activities and dates, but nothing will be forced and there will be a 'chillout' or 'quiet' space. Consent and Respect will be paramount.

WHERE IS THE LAUNCH PARTY?

Melbourne's premiere, inclusive venue - Grouse Bar, 171 Smith St, Fitzroy

WHEN IS THE LAUNCH PARTY?

The Launch Party is on

Saturday 21st September from 3pm - late

(And we will run monthly events after that)

WHY A DATING EVENT FOR OVER-40's?

We are sick of apps

We want real connection & conversation

We are done with ageism

We're too bloody old for loud venues, mind-games, swiping and all that other shit!

WHO IS OVER THE RAINBOW FOR?

Everyone under the LGBTIQA+ rainbow is welcome to the monthly events.
All genders will be adored!
All sexualities will be loved!
If you're shy, Nelly and Dean will lend a hand.
If you came out later in life, we welcome you into the community.
 

Look however you want.

Dress however you want.

Be yourself.
 

The launch party is open to singles, couples, throuples and everyone else you can think of.

It's a special party to launch this new initiative and to help spread the word.

And please let your rural and regional folks know:

FARMER WANTS A HUSBAND!

MILKMAID WANTS A WIFE!
