Carrollton Rainbow started as a Facebook group 3 years ago this month as a virtual space for the west Georgia area LGBTQ+ community members and allies to network, socialize and plan events. This week, we welcomed our 1,000th group member!
Over the last three years, Carrollton Rainbow has evolved from a corner of social media to a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that hosts events, pride festivals, drag performances, performs community services, represents in city parades and advocates for safe spaces for all in the community.
Through all of Carrollton Rainbow's evolution , the Facebook group still serves as the nucleus of what we do. Our goal with the group is to beacon of hope, to offer a safe space to celebrate and commiserate with others and to be a refuge from the barrage of negativity that otherwise overtakes social media.
