Rainbow Connections LGBTI LGBTI is an acronym that is used for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community. It is important to provide resources for the LGBTI community as well as the wider community for educational purposes and general interest. Resource provision is essential to the holistic wellbeing of community members. Understanding that not everyone will identify with this acronym or may identify with more than one “letter of the rainbow” will enable us to provide a safe environment and encourage people to ask questions and learn of our diversity. Krys Fischer, President, Stand Up With Pride
