LEADING TOGETHER

Welcome to our vibrant rainbow community in Leiden and its surroundings! We are a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the LGBTQ+ community together at various locations across Leiden. Our focus is on organizing gatherings centered around queer art, literature, history, culture, and nature. While we don't organize dance events due to the ample nightlife options in Leiden, our gatherings are filled with creative activities such as painting, drawing, writing, and more. We discuss queer books and films, share life stories, and explore various themes. We prioritize a healthy mental and physical lifestyle, so we don't serve alcohol at our events. Instead, we offer delicious tea and other refreshing drinks. Currently, we don't have an Arabic translator, but we utilize translation apps and are fluent in English. We look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
