CARDIFF WALES LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER MARDI GRAS 

Pride Cymru works to promote equality and diversity for public benefit in the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, race or religion including but not exclusively by raising awareness of equality and diversity through an LGBTQ arts festival, creating a sentiment of equality/diversity by offering training and holding the Pride Cymru Foundation Grant.
