Melbourne Italian LGBTI

Melbourne Italian LGBTI+ includes many diverse nationalities and ages.  Primarily intended for people with Italian heritage and who identify as part of the LGBTIQ community, WE WELCOME ALL NATIONALITIES and the group has grown to be multi-cultural. 
This is your group and Members are encouraged to host events of interest to themselves  and I am happy to assist and will put the event up for you.  It's lot of fun and it's an opportunity to refine your social skills and make new friends.
