The work of the Rainbow Caucus
The Rainbow Caucus works purposefully in promoting and advocating for initiatives that address issues affecting the LGBTI+ community in the parliamentary community and across society in general.
LGBTQ+ Victory Institute Conference
Members of the Rainbow Caucus travelled to Washington, D.C., in December 2025 to attend the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s 41st annual LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference.
Every year, the Victory Conference takes place over three days and includes workshops and speeches from members of the LGBTI+ community from the United States and from around the world.
Advocacy groups
Members of the Rainbow Caucus occasionally meet LGBTI+ advocacy groups to discuss their shared topics of interest.
In the past, the caucus has met groups to discuss matters related to the annual Budget and the issues that face LGBTI+ communities across Europe.
Constitution
With a vision to promote the achievement of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex+ (LGBTI+) equality within the parliamentary community and society by promoting inclusion and equality for all, the Rainbow Caucus Constitution, as amended, outlines its mission, membership and working arrangements.
