Pride Wellbeing Week to be celebrated in Busselton

Busselton Pride Alliance has announced a new annual program aimed at LQBTQIA+ people and their friends and families. The first week of November will feature events held all across the City of Busselton to support the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ community. Activities within the week include educational workshops and panels, drag performances, makeup and burlesque classes, sporting events, a rollerskating jam, sustainable fashion events and an interactive screening of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, hosted by drag queen Fanta-Sea. “This event is about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community in Busselton and providing safe spaces for them to meet and connect,” Pride Alliance committee member Sharon Custers said. “There are a wide range of different types of events, with something for everyone, don’t be shy, come along, you might meet a new friend.” The Pride Wellbeing Week is possible through funding from Living Proud, the Mental Health Commission and the City of Busselton, with events to be held at the Busselton Library, Busselton Cultural Precinct and hosted by many other local businesses. “Pride Wellbeing Week is a wonderful occasion for the South West community to unite in support of equality and respect for all,” Cr Ross Paine said.
