Auckland's LGBT youth will be out in force at next Sunday's Big Gay Out picnic day in Coyle Park. "Rainbow Youth will be there with two tents; one with information, merchandise and ice cold Rainbow Youth water to purchase and the other as a chill-out space for their members," explains the LGBT support organisation's secretary Toni Reid. This year Rainbow Youth will hold a raffle to raise funds for new equipment in their drop-in centre at 281 Karangahape Road. The centre has recently been refurbished, which would not have been possible without the support from members of the community, Reid explains. The raffle has a variety of goodies to be won, including t-shirts donated from Love NZ New Zealand and MrVintage, books from The Women's Bookshop, prize packs from GayNZ.com, a SnowPlanet voucher and meal/drinks vouchers from Family
