Rainbow Reflections 2026
About
Join Acceptance Perth for a welcoming, in-person LGBTIQA+ Catholic/Christian Gathering - an evening of shared dinner, reflection, and community.On the third Friday of every month, we gather for a relaxed night that includes a shared meal and a spiritual component. This may take the form of a short Gospel reflection, a video, or a guest speaker. Sharing is always optional, and the space is designed to be gentle, inclusive, and respectful of where each person is on their journey. (You may also hear this described as a LGBTIQA+ cell group or connect group.)
These gatherings offer a chance to encounter God as you are, while building meaningful friendships with others who share similar values and experiences.
Cost options:
$15 per person (includes pizza, garlic bread, and drinks) - payable online or in person
$10 per person for those who need financial support
Free for those who wish to attend without having dinner
An optional gold coin donation (or more) is welcome for those attending the gathering only.
By attending an Acceptance Perth event, you agree to abide by the following Code of Conduct.
– Acceptance Perth events are intended to be safe, respectful, and nourishing spaces for LGBTIQA+ people of faith, as well as their supporters and allies. As a condition of entry, all participants are required to help make these gatherings a sanctuary for LGBTIQA+ people. This includes treating all participants with respect and consideration, valuing a diversity of experiences, backgrounds, and identities, and engaging with kindness, courtesy, attentive listening, sensitivity, and mutual respect.
– LGBTIQA+-phobic, racist, sexist, pro-conversion-therapy, or otherwise bigoted or abusive language or behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
– We affirm that God calls each person to discern and live out their own path in life. Acceptance Perth does not support pressure of any kind, including (but not limited to): pressure into celibacy, unwanted romantic or sexual advances, pressure to enter or remain in a relationship, pressure to transition or de-transition.
- Acceptance Perth events are safe spaces. Antisocial behaviour of any kind – whether physical, verbal, or digital – may result in immediate removal from the event and a permanent ban from future events.
- As many religious and secular spaces remain unsafe for LGBTIQA+ people of faith to speak openly, confidentiality is essential. What is shared within the gathering stays within the gathering. Personal stories, names, or identifying details must not be shared outside the space without explicit consent.
- Photography, filming, or audio recording is not permitted at any Acceptance Perth event unless prior written permission has been granted by the organisers.
- The organisers reserve the right to withdraw, refuse, or revoke participation at their discretion in order to uphold this Code of Conduct.
