Pirates and Ninja's

Minus 18 Is a dance party for underage same-sex attracted youth and their friends

I wish I'd known about Minus 18 years ago....


Overview:
Minus18 was established in 1998 to provide a safe space for the same sex attracted youth of Melbourne to meet new people and have fun, whilst also providing a safe way for them to explore the gay 'scene' in a drug and alcohol free environment. Minus18 dance parties have grown to an event which is unique throughout the world attracting in excess of 250 patrons each event. In addition Minus18 has become involved in the greater gay community of Melbourne giving this oft-forgotten segment of the community a voice.
What to expect:
In short, lots of fun. Minus18 events are unique in that they cater for a very diverse group of people. We recognise that it would be impossible to run an event that is perfect for each and every person as far as music and entertainment goes, and so our main focus is providing somewhere that our patrons can meet each other. Of course we have DJs, Drag, the occasional Live Band, and plenty of video clips & presentations, but these simply enhance the atmosphere. Our DJs play a wide range of music: Dance, RnB, Pop, House, Rock, Retro, and the list goes on. You are sure to hear something you like. Minus18 events have free soft drink provided, and the committee constantly work to improve the overall event

It would be interesting...especially if we invite Sam Sanders along.

In reality though, being straight and all...I might find it annoying - but I'm sure people are nice there.

It's a free country Reuben, but I certainly won’t be rushing to invite Sam Sanders. This is a place where people go to get AWAY from the sort of ignorance and intolerance he spews out. Besides which I personally do not want to be a person that Sam uses as 'anecdotal evidence' next time he's arguing with us or someone else about queer issues. I'm a person not a piece of evidence

Don't worry Kath, I'll be on hand to dispose of his anecdotal evidence should the need arise.
