Asociación Pluma is the LGBTIQ+ and feminist association for La Gomera. Its office is in Vallehermoso, on the north side of the island, and it is the point of contact for queer people anywhere on La Gomera.
The work is practical. The association helps with the paperwork for legal name and gender marker changes and goes along to health service appointments. It gives talks in schools on sexual diversity and gender identity, trains companies on their own workplaces, and runs confidential support groups for young people, older people and families. Alongside that there are film evenings, talks, social gatherings, volunteer places and activist training.
It coordinates GomeraArcoíris, a joint diversity programme with the island council and the municipalities of Agulo, Alajeró, Hermigua, San Sebastián de La Gomera, Valle Gran Rey and Vallehermoso. On an island of six municipalities that is all of them.
A visitor is unlikely to need the casework, but the association organises the island's Pride and is who to ask about what is on for queer people on La Gomera. It describes itself as feminist and LGBTIQ+, and works in Spanish.
