The PRIDE PARADE returns to the nighttime this year on 22nd of Nov 2014, for the 25th anniversary of the original protest rally that resulted in the formation of the group we call Pride WA today.
Pride WA has been an integral part of the Western Australian community since 1989. They grew out of a community movement protesting laws that actively discriminated against members of our community and evolved to incorporate a festival and events calendar. The Pride Community includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer (LGBTIQ), other people of diverse sexuality and gender, and their supporters.
Following extensive research and consultation, Pride WA is now committed to providing a platform by which the Pride Community can showcase their talents and continue to champion their rights and freedoms. The strategic plan developed through this process aims to ensure that Pride WA continues to be a viable and sustainable organisation, committed to strong governance, connected to its community and working in partnership with others.
They recognise that their collective strength lies in our diversity and willingness to embrace and respect the differences that exist both within the Pride community and the broader communities in which they live, work, love and celebrate......
