The mission and principal purpose of Pride Western Australia Incorporated is to encourage and promote community, culture and the arts by celebrating the community, cultural expression and performing talent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and all people of diverse sexuality and gender living in Western Australia.
