Crystal Queer

Crystal Queer is for young people aged 16-25 years who live, work, study or hang out in Brimbank and identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ communities or an ally.

Crystal Queer is a safe and fun place for LGBTQIA+ identifying young people to hang out with likeminded people, explore your identity and learn more about the community.

In the past, Crystal Queer participants have developed a podcast, helped organise the LGBTQIA+ Soiree, gone on fun excursions, held movie screenings, and more!

We meet weekly, typically in-person at various Brimbank locations.
