Our Mission

Far too often Pride organisers present straight artists they feel appeal to the tastes of gay people rather than presenting LGBTQI voices to speak and create for ourselves. Far too often certain voices from our community feel unheard and under-represented. True Pride is about just that - a platform for the creative voices of the whole LGBTQI. It is what we feel PRIDE should be about. True Pride is born out of anger. The anger of feeling unseen and unheard by the very platform where we should be centre stage. Moved aside by an idea of what those in high places feel we should like and listen to. It is our aim to create a safe, empowering, and truly diverse and representative space.
