DIH stands for Enakopravni pod mavrico, equal under the rainbow. It runs a small day centre on Slomškova ulica and is the least formal of Ljubljana's queer organisations: the office is a room you can walk into, with tea, games, zines and conversation, and a rolling programme of community evenings.
The programme reaches wider than the letters usually do. Groups meet for polyamorous and non-monogamous people, for LGBT+ refugees and asylum seekers, and for young people, and a good share of the evenings run in English as well as Slovene, which makes this one of the easier doors to knock on if you do not speak the language.
Alongside the drop-in the association does sexual health work, education in schools and youth centres, and publishing: a queer glossary, a Slovenian and Romani LGBT+ dictionary, and a queer map of Ljubljana that is worth reading before you arrive.
