The Union's B-LeGITS committee, staff, members and friends represented members at the 21st annual Pride Parade on Saturday 30th October.

Approximately 15 members, along with family, marched along William and James Streets in Northbridge celebrating the Union's role in supporting LGBTI teachers and students - and equality for all.

Our banner bearers joined in the party atmosphere with alluring costumes.

In recent years, the parade has taken on a more political stance, with a major focus of this year's event being relationship equality before the law.

With one of the largest crowds in some time watching the parade, marchers enjoyed the carnival atmosphere with happy interactions, with onlookers and loud cheers from the crowd in support of the Union's participation in the event.

The response to the Union's participation was the best in a number of years.

Thanks to Senior Vice President Pat Burke, Organisers Jacquie Macliver, Bronwyn Croghan and Ross Fallen for representing the Union office and members and families for making the night a memorable one.

With CHOGM due to be held in Perth in October next year, the next Pride Parade will be in February 2012.

We look forward to participating again in 2012. See you there!
