What we'll talk about
Step into the fascinating world of Leuven's queer past, where stories of exclusion, oppression, resilience, and self-expression await. Since 2008, the Rainbow House of Leuven has been a beacon of acceptance, but what about before then? Join us on this immersive journey through the city's lesser-known history.
