Together we aim to further broadcast the tremendous good work they are doing with donations from participants and visibility during the event that passes through Europe’s greatest cities; Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Prague Vienna and Budapest. The Rainbow Rampage may be billed as, The Ultimate Gay Party but lead organizer Guy Zucker hopes that as participants travel through Europe the rainbow of gay identities, personality and style will be an exciting way to make new friends and promote a positive message about LGBT people across the continent.
