Rainbow Humanists

Rainbow Humanists is a community group aligned with Humanist values. Although socially based in Melbourne, we welcome people from across Australia and beyond. Formerly called Rainbow Atheists, we changed the name in order to emphasise our growing links with humanists across Australia, to acknowledge that the majority of LGBT+ people in Australia are not religious, and to endorse positive humanist values.

We are a social group for LGBTQIA+ humanists and atheists. Let's meet up and chat, socialise, and maybe organise some activities that express our desire to do good without god. In a nation where public discourse on LGBTQIA+ human rights is too often framed within religious privilege, it is time for us to come out as godless, rational, ethical, and diverse.

Anyone is welcome to join who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans or gender fluid, queer or questioning, Intersex, asexual, or allied, and who shares our disbelief in God or gods.

An introduction to Rainbow Atheism was published in the second issue of 'Bent Street' magazine and can now be found at [A Case for Rainbow Atheism – Humanist Blog (humanist-world.net)](https://humanist-world.net/2020/08/17/a-case-for-rainbow-atheism/)

A more detailed exploration of gay and atheist liberation can be found at [Sodom Today, Gomorrah the World! – Humanist Blog (humanist-world.net)](https://humanist-world.net/2021/01/17/sodom-today-gomorrah-the-world/)

Being a rainbow humanist can be life affirming and empowering.
