Hello, my angel Unicorn muffins!

I’m delsi and 10+ years ago, I created a little thing called Unicorns.

Growing up, I was always drawn to performance art, warehouse parties, quality tunes, and sparkly dancefloor moments. But as a young queer, I struggled to find a space that I felt I could show up as my whole self and feel safe, seen and celebrated.

When I came out in my early 20s, finding where I fit in was a bit of a struggle. I wanted a place where I could be with all my queer friends in one space—and not just let in, but enthusiastically celebrated as we walked in the doors.

So, I made Unicorns.

Unicorns began in a small warehouse in the industrial suburb of St Peters, Sydney. I still remember being surprised when 70 people showed up to that very first event. Now, every time a venue fills with a sea of beautiful, queer faces, I’m filled with happiness and gratitude.

At Unicorns, the goal is to create a space where all members of the LGBTQIA+ community can come together to support, uplift, connect and celebrate each other.

It hopes to be a playground for you to explore self-expression, wear your fave outfits, cover yourself in paint and eco-glitter, dance, hear euphoric tunes and more come together to celebrate how wonderful it is to be queer. It’s an environment that aims to be built on love, encouragement and kindness —and serve as a reminder of how incredible it is to be part of our very special community.

Over the year, Unicorns has grown and evolved, to try and meet more of the changing needs of our community. From fitness groups and social support evenings to healthy relationship workshops, festivals, LGBTQIA+ inclusion training and dating events.

Thank you for the past 10 years of love, community, celebration and dancefloor magic. I’m excited to see what the next 10+ years together will bring and how we grow and evolve alongside each other.

With love and hugs,
delsi
