THE PERTH White Pointers are jumping out of the pool to join this Saturday’s Pride parade.
Treasurer Pete Steel said it will be the water polo club’s second march since forming at the end of 2016.
The Pointers’ primary goal is to promote LGBTI inclusion in water polo and sport in general in WA.
“Historically the sporting field has been a pretty unwelcoming place to LGBTI people, and Pride is an opportunity for our community to reflect on how far we’ve come and celebrate our achievements together,” he said.
