WELCOME BACK RAINBOW FRIENDS!
It was another tough year. But we survived, and we were thrilled to see so many of you in June at our special one-night screening under the stars at Bishop Museum. Our full festival is moving to October to coincide with Honolulu Pride. It’s going to be amazing!
Empowering our diverse LGBTQ-mahu-aikane communities in Hawaii and around
