Pride March Adelaide
Thursday, 18th September 2008
The concept of a Pride March is the Queer Community and our supporters publicly marching in celebration of pride, courage, solidarity and diversity.
Pride Marches are held the world over and involve community groups and community members marching to promote tolerance, acceptance and affirm the diversity and resilience of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex and Queer (GLBTIQ) communities.
Adelaideâs first Pride March was held in 1973 when homosexuality was still illegal in South Australia. Pride March Adelaide was founded in 2003 following a community meeting and produced Adelaideâs second Pride March in November 2003, the 30th anniversary of the first, as part of the Feast Festival, Adelaideâs annual Queer Cultural Festival.
Pride March Adelaide 2003 attracted over 2,000 participants, and has since grown to be a much anticipated annual celebratory event in the South Australian GLBTIQ calendar.
