Liberal Pride is an Australian organisation for LGBTQ conservatism and liberalism in Australia. It is affiliated to and the official LGBTQ branch of the centre-right Victorian Liberal Party.[1] The Liberal Pride branch operating in Victoria maintains a presence across the state. Although LGBTQ networks and friendship groups exist within other divisions of the Liberal Party of Australia, the Victorian Liberal Pride Branch is presently the only formal LGBTQ Branch of any division of the party.
The group campaigns for LGBTQ rights alongside the main political beliefs and policies of the Liberal Party, which it promotes within the party, LGBTQ community, and the wider public.[2] The Liberal Pride branch in Victoria also campaigns and raises funds for LGBTQ candidates.
