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.
