This is Gay Pride week in Dublin. This year’s theme “Pride and Prejudice?”, celebrates pride in who we are as LGBTQ people and as a community, whilst questioning our community, society in general and ourselves on our attitudes and prejudices. The festival should celebrate diversity and challenge peoples’ perceptions of it.

The big march is on next Saturday at 2pm, and there are other events all this week. There’s a full program here

Going to or supporting a Pride march doesn’t mean people will think you’re gay. Everyone is welcome and all it says about you is that you support respect for everybody regardless of their sexuality, so if you can, GO.
