🌈 Gay By Nature, Highlands By Choice

Sweet Release

Some things about us are written into our DNA. They are not chosen, not negotiable, and not up for debate. We are gay by nature - queer, proud, unapologetically ourselves.

But where we plant our roots, who we build community with, and the places we choose to call home? That is our choice. And here in the Southern Highlands, we’ve made a choice worth celebrating.

✨ Why This Tagline Matters

“Gay By Nature, Highlands By Choice” is more than a catchphrase - it’s our declaration. It reminds the world that our queerness is innate, authentic, and natural. At the same time, it celebrates the powerful choice we’ve made to come together, build safe spaces, and create vibrant community life here in the Highlands.

It says: we were born this way, and we are proud to live this way - in a region that is becoming more inclusive, more visible, and more celebratory every single day.

🌟 Our Ethos in Action

At The Real Homosexuals of the Southern Highlands, this tagline captures everything we stand for.

Connection We are building strong, genuine bonds between queer locals and allies who choose to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Liberation We advocate for visibility and equality so every person can live authentically, free from shame and prejudice.
Celebration Through drag brunches, pride picnics, cabaret nights, and cultural collaborations, we amplify the joy of queer life.
Inclusion We ensure every person, whether lifelong local or recent arrival, feels welcome, respected, and truly seen.

Our mission is clear: to create safe, joyful, and inclusive spaces where LGBTQI+ locals and allies can thrive. Our vision is bold: to become the leading LGBTQI+ community network in the Southern Highlands, known for celebrating diversity, empowering queer lives, and driving inclusivity across the region.

💖 Why the Highlands?

Because this place is more than just rolling hills, wineries, and tulips. It’s a community with heart. A region ready for transformation. A home where queer stories deserve to be heard and celebrated.

By choosing the Highlands, we are choosing to be visible, to take up space, and to write our own chapter in its cultural fabric.
