Pride Marches worldwide celebrate the courage, solidarity, resilience and contribution of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) people.
The first Pride March in Adelaide was organized in 1973, when the homosexuality was still illegal. It became an important stage in the fight for the civil rights of homosexuals.
Adelaide’s second Pride March was held 30 years later, and in the present time these yearly events are a very important part of the life of gays and lesbians living in South Australia.
Pride March Adelaide is organised by a committee of volunteers. Community groups participate in the March as well as individuals. Everyone supporting the Gay communities can join the March.
Year by year, the parades have become more interesting and entertaining, and more people participate in them.
This year there were a lot of music, dances, new groups taking part and thousands of queer community members, friends and family taking over the streets to celebrate LGBTIQ pride, strength and diversity.
