Despite a “period of engagement” with party leadership, including a meeting with Mary Lou McDonald and other LGBTQ+ organisations, organisers say they are “not satisfied” with the party’s position. They added that Sinn Féin has now “officially” been banned from the march, which will take place in Dublin on July 12

Last year at Dublin pride God was trying to burn the gays with the day of the parade being on the hottest day in June. The entire rest of the month was around 18-20 degrees (Celsius). Of course on pride it was 26 degrees.

This year, he tried to drown the gays! The entire month when it has rained it’s been short showers sprinkled throughout the day. Today, of course, consisted of torrential rain for the entirety of the parade and after party.

We marched the entire route with the trans pride bloc as usual. Literally my rain jacket (that is obviously supposed to be water proof) became soaked through. My jeans, tshirt, and UNDERWEAR were sopping by the time we got home.

Couldn’t even stay for the after party. And to add insult to the injury, because it was cold and wet I couldn’t wear the outfit I had planned: micro shorts that say comrade in rainbow sparkly letters on the ass, a trans shirt I crop, docs, and thigh high socks!

Couldn’t even show hole on PRIDE!!!

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." -- George Orwell, "NIneteen Eighty-Four"

Unethical, dishonest and sinister.

When multiple historians called out the 1619 Project's pervasive historical fraud, known compulsive liar, Nikole Hannah-Jones justified it as "reshaping public memory." That is, it isn't true, but it should be true, and people should believe and insist that it's true.

Dublin Pride has since added some text to their page to handwave the dishonesty. However, anyone using the site and its assets as a historical reference - and why wouldn't they, when it's the official site for Dublin Pride - will be reproducing the images they want them to have, not the ones that are factually accurate. So any news sites that source from their site will be, knowingly or not, perpetuating Dublin Pride's rewrite of their own history.

The rain didn't dampen our shine at Dublin Pride last weekend! And while there was lots of music, dancing and drag, Pride is first and most importantly a protest for:

The urgent passing of hate crime laws

A ban on conversion therapy  

Simplified gender recognition for 16- and17-year-olds

LGBTQ+ inclusive schools and subjects

A safe, accessible holistic national gender service for under 18s, and

Safety for the LGBTQ+ community online and offline

Until next year!

Ha…I actually had a Pride-related drawing handy for Pride-month. It was actually for an earlier event, but she’s so happy in this that I’d like to re-use the image for this post

guys pride sucked ass. i forgot to bring my phone, it rained literally the whole time, meaning all of the cool shit i got was absolutely destroyed by the wetness of my bag as well as me in general feeling like a wet cat bc i didnt bring a coat.
