So glad to be enjoying the Albany Pride Fair Day 2024! As one of the biggest regional pride events in Australia there is something for everyone! 🏳️🌈✨🎉
What a day we had yesterday! We are so pleased to welcome new core funding from the WA Government which will be critical for frontline service organisations and the LGBTQIA+ community in WA. This is a significant milestone, one that we could not have done on our own, and we want to thank our current and former staff, volunteers, board members and community members who have been part of the fight for recognition, support, advocacy and leadership for 50+ years. Living Proud WA will continue to work alongside our sector colleagues and Rainbow Futures WA to support urgent legislative reform that will allow LGBTQIA+ people in WA to live safe and healthy lives free from discrimination. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ GRAI - GLBTI Rights in Ageing Inc | TransFolk of WA | Living Proud WA | Rainbow Futures WA | Hannah Beazley MLA | Sabine Winton MLA | Don Punch MLA | Department of Communities | Equality Australia Read about the announcement here: https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Cook-Labor-Government/New-LGBTQIA%2B-inclusion-strategy-to-promote-equality-20240223
