Rainbows SU has its roots in the student life of the 1970s with the short-lived association called Klubb Albert. It would take a few years before the current student association was established. On October 8th, 1990, 30 gays and lesbians gathered to discuss their situation at the campus. They agreed that the most important thing was to be visible at the University and to create opportunities for social interactions. This was the start of Stockholm University’s student association Gay Studenterna! 30 years (and a name change) later, we, Rainbows SU, remain at Stockholm University with the goal of creating a space at the university where LGBTQIA + people can feel welcome and safe. We are thus one of the oldest (if not the oldest) LGBTQIA + student association in Sweden!

Rainbows’ target groups are those at university that identify within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and those who question gender and sexuality norms.

Our main goal in Rainbows is to arrange different types of events both on campus and digitally where you get the opportunity to get to know other like-minded people. Events such as game nights, movie nights and study-hangouts. We also have open planning meetings and board meetings where we discuss the association’s future events and activities. Other goals are also to conduct various forms of activism, work for better access and education around LGBTQIA+ issues at the university, and act as representatives of the university’s LGBTQIA+ people at the university.
