Happy 21st PRIDE, since the very beginning as a community we have supported each other and what rose from a protest march 21 years ago has evolved into a celebration of all that is amazing and wonderful about the GLBTIQ community here in Perth. May there be many more years of PRIDE in Perth.

Coming of age! I was 45 years old when Pride began. Oh how our life in Perth has improved. So many events to plan and cherish. Gawd, I remember the illegal gay bar shutting at 10PM. Congratulations Pride!

A Very Happy 21st Birthday to all the staff and volunteers of Pride WA. Thanks for all your work over the years and for continuing support for the Perth GLBTI community with all that you do. We’ve seen a lot of change over the last 21 years, and Pride has been there to see a good deal of it, so let’s not forget how far we’ve come and what more we still have to do. Here’s to the next 21 years!

Wow 21 years, how life and acceptance has changed even over the last two decades,
Thank you for being ‘Out and Proud’ and allowing us the freedom to be who we are.
If it wasn’t for Pride we wouldn’t be allowed to be Proud.
Happy 21st Birthday!
