Celebrating the LGTBIQ+ community at the MIDSUMMA FESTIVAL

30 January 2019

Every January in Melbourne, Midusmma Festival brings together the diverse LGBTI+ community with an explosion of events by a diverse mix of artist, communities and audiences. It shares the lived experiences of those voices on the margins and celebrates new ideas and starts conversations that will help shape the community in the future.

Kara House joined in the celebrations at the MIDSUMMA CARNIVAL on Sunday January 19. Our aim was to create awareness around our specialist LGTBI+ services by forging new connections with the community.

Kara House offers crisis accommodation and support for same sex attracted women who are experiencing abuse in a relationship. We also offer outreach support and advice to anyone identifying as lesbian, transgender, gay, bi-sexual or intersex. We are open to direct contact or referrals from other organisations.

We support and celebrate LGTBI+ community. It was wonderful to be part of a brilliant day filled with colour, interesting conversations and new connections.
