About
A sumptuous, social event celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Gender Diverse and Intersex elders.
Created by acclaimed performance makers All The Queens Men, The Coming Back Out Salon is designed as a gift. Proudly acknowledging the resilience of older LGBTIQ+ people who have lived through it all, it’s also a safe space for those just discovering themselves later in life.
The Salon is a night of cultural significance where rainbow allies can sit alongside LGBTIQ+ elders to eat, drink, dance, reminisce and dream together into the future.
The Coming Back Out Salon was supported by Internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma as part of The Bach Project presented for the Victorian Seniors Festival.
