#Gaymelbourne is a safe, warm & friendly IRC channel for the use of
Gay, Lesbian and other members of the Queer Community of Melbourne regardless
of age and for those friendly members of the Straight Community.
Apart from being an IRC chat channel, #Gaymelbourne also provides its members
with opportunities to attend social gatherings, provides information to
Members through both the #Gaymelbourne Homepage and the Channel's newsletter

these are Member friendly and are there not to censure or restrain, but
to assist with the smooth day to day running of #Gaymelbourne and to ensure
the well-being of our Members.
