Our Name

At the AGM, we held a ballot of our members on the future of our name, the options were as follows;

  • LGBTIQA+ Greens
  • LGBTIQ+ Greens
  • Rainbow Greens
  • DSGS Greens
  • Queer Greens
  • LGBTIQ Greens (Remain as is)

With an overwhelming 61% of first preference votes, our membership decided to change our name to; LGBTIQA+ Greens!

We have begun to update our name in the system, but it will take a while for it to propogate everywhere.
