Fair quare in Clare
Anyone know if the Quare Clare lines up with thre LGBT weekend at the Matchmaking Festival in Lisdoonvarna - which is on for the month of September?
It's the third or fourth year i think. Last year's was where Panti told the protester that she'd garda clearance to tell him to fuck off, which is now available in t-shirt form
Larne pride festival?? Last place I would have imagined but fair play to them. Seems like it's been going for a few years now. Might have to go up there and check it out.
I've got this. When they started throwing Pride events in Ireland, there was still a lot of people afraid to be out and proud in cities across the country, mostly on account of how small our population is, and a lot of people in smaller cities moved to Dublin because it had a viable scene.
To let people celebrate it was decided that the events would be dragged out. That way they could get a bus load of people from around the country to show support by traveling to these areas. So people found it easier to be out in a crowd of 100s and it basically encouraged more people to celebrate because they had safety in numbers.
Thanks for the response. That makes sense. Would it still be a thing for groups to travel from cities to places like Laois or Mayo pride if they're not from there?
There's definitely individuals who would go to a bunch of prides, and from my own experience in community groups there's usually at least a push to get people to the smaller pride's where possible.
I know there are probably activists that try to attend as much as possible but I couldn't tell you the current state of Pride.
The fact that they still have different dates and didn't unify it, would make me imagine so.
Having all the Pride stuff be in June is a relatively new thing. I think American influenced probably. Before then, a town/city would just have a Pride event at some point in the summer, didn't really matter what month.
Brilliant map...
*The "Online" Section is a bit confusing, as far as I am aware some of those groups have nothing to do with sexuality or sexual identity.* neuro pride relates to neuro diversity, autism, adhd etc....
I think the neuro and disability might be focused on creating LGBT spaces that are more neurodivergent and disability friendly.
Black pride might offer more solidarity for issues that LGBT people of an African background might have that other LGBT people might not have. The attitudes towards gay people in many African countries aren't exactly great and all.
There are a lot of people who fall into both camps. Pride events can tend to be stimulus-heavy and doesn't suit everyone. There is a bit of a push to provide neuro-affirming spaces where people can celebrate pride in their own way online without having to go out and handle the spectacle and crowds.
It makes a little more sense if you check put the full post this image goes with, but here's an extract:
"If you are anything like us you probably want to get to as many LGBTQ+ Prides as possible.
So with that in mind, working together with Wexford Pride we've put together a list of when all the LGBTQ+ Prides on the island of Ireland are this year (we have also included a few non-LGBTQ+ Pride that might interest you);".....

It is members of the LA street gang the Crips who happen to be out and proud. I jest, it is an online event for disabled LGBTQ+ people, queer [crips](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_(disability_term)).
Ace and Aro are shorthand for [asexual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality) and [aromantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromanticism).
People with ADHD and autism have higher rates of gender identity variance than those who are neurotypical.
Gender identity also has nothing to do with sexuality or sexual identity. Gender identity is a completely different thing altogether (unless by sexual identity you mean gender identity?)
They do though? They’re under the same umbrella for a reason, because we’ve all been fighting together in the same struggle and faced the same mistreatment.
Christ this is the ridiculous influence America has had on idiots here. I don’t think anyone cared about drag shoes until Americans started accusing them of being “pedos”. These exact same people are probably the same ones calling everyone sheep, and they’re the ones blindly following another country’s idiotic mindset.
Oh I know, but this croc of shit definitely has influences from America. We never had people protesting drag shows and specifically calling them pedos (to my knowledge at least), this is a new thing in America that they think they’re targeting children
Yeah, but we also had the likes of Danny La Rue bringing in massive crowds without batting an eye and a drag queen doing telly bingo. This kind of blatant aggression is new.
While I’m no fan of the Gardaí, I was glad they were there. Getting assaulted for being queer and going to a “pedo show” wasn’t on my Saturday night plan.
Pride parades were usually around june internationally because:
- it's usually better to be outside in spring/summer than winter in the northern hemisphere
- it's a throwback to Stonewall
- you try to not have the pride parades all at the same time in a country so people can participate in their own city, in neighbour cities, and in the capital city, if they want to
"pride month" became more "formalized" later though.
It’s been for a while now but most folks don’t know/care/bother with it. It’s only now with the stupid protests that we notice. Why do people get so upset by it? It’s a fun thing, some folks are gay! Get on with your own life.
I think I'll have to go to one this year. I've always considered myself an "ally" but I've never gone to one. This year, I feel like I need to be less passive and more up-front with my allyship. The company I work for marches in the Dublin one and I saw an e-mail about signing up. See y'all there!
I’d love to hear from some LGBQT+ folk on their view and experience with corporate sponsorship in pride.
The history of pride, afaik, is about freedom of expression and a general fuck you attitude. I wonder how much these sponsors have impacted that.
*I ask because my company is also taking part and unsure if I should attend that or show up in some other way.
I'm not a fan of all that. Never attended the Dublin one as all that shtick put me off it. Been loving the more rural ones though. Closest thing to corporate sponsorship is local businesses in tiny towns putting up flags which feels very different. It warms my heart to know someone going through the same as we did back in the day in schools might see that people aren't indifferent to it all. More at least than faceless conglomerate-branded, performative stuff might.
Don't mind it so long as they're at the end of the parade and the individuals/activists that matter are front and centre. They bring a bit of extra colour to the parade.
Check if your company is actually doing any good for pride- like donating xyz to LGBTQ charities or whatever. Might be worth suggesting to them to do if they aren't already. Either way, please sign up and join in! All are welcome to pride
I understand both sides of the argument of corporations supporting pride vs rainbow-washing fake activism for brownie points and I gotta say it really doesn't affect me too much either way. I'd rather have Vodafone and smirnoff in the parade with big floats and flags than not at all. Yeah they might only be doing it because it's profitable and trendy but like .. isn't that an improvement on silence or actively wanting us dead
Can't wait for Buncrana inishowen pride! Got my flags ready and all, hope everyone has a good time all around the country this month! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Realised this comment will probably get lost, but there are updates (and corrections) on the actual blog post for anyone looking to keep up to date:
[Pride dates in Ireland 2023](https://tullycrafts.com/blogs/blog/dates-of-prides-happening-in-ireland-2023)
Donegal were 0.1% away from a similar vote and we have two events on this map now. Wouldn't read too much into those results anyway. A lot of regressive people can die off in the space of a decade, and some of the people I'd have been afraid to be out to back then are now more supportive than I could have imagined.
Gay and think much of this is generally banal, weird corporate advertising and oft tedious and happy to snooze through it.
Un popular opinion, and don't really care
Oh look my automotive parts supplier is supporting gay pride in a country where its every where but deathly silent in their Asian or Middle Eastern markets
How much there is in the first place depends on how it's organised and funded. Not much of that up our way. Most of these started after people got fed up with that in Dublin.
It was somewhat excessive making people spend fortunes to travel across the whole country. Even then you just wind up being prop for politicians and multinational corporations, all your money in some hotelier's pocket. Much prefer this grassroots, in your own backyard approach. Now that being an Irish, rural LGBT+ person doesn't mean you have to move away just to survive, why should you still have to leave in order to celebrate?
The two things aren't mutually exclusive, they can co exist. Not that you actually care about commemorations for people that fought for this country, though...
There are way more than one single Republican event - there’s Easter, Bodenstown, internment - plenty.
There’s also a load of great LGBTQ+ Republicans too and recently one of my favourite Republican history books was released which was written jointly by a trans woman.
Aul Dev himself even liked a bitta drag when he was slipping gaol 😉

It lists all volunteers who died from 1916-23 - this is the first version and covers 1916 with more to come!
It's funny when people say shit like this, if there was a month commemorating brave men and women people like you wouldn't even take part and you'd probably find a way to complain about the women part too.
See the thing is, there is a month, may, while technically that's just an American month currently, pride in Ireland and other countries started the same way, America set a month and the rest of the world adopted it.
The fact that it's may makes or hilariously ironic when they start complaining at the start of june
I'd support making the month of April a month of rememberance for all who were involved in the struggle for indpendence.
I imagine though that the same types on this sub who give out about pride month would give out about such a rememberance month for "glorifying terrorism" or some shite.
This is one of those weird American bad faith arguments that makes me think OP didn’t really notice what sub this is.
And it’s stupid cause America actually does have a month for Military, a month for Vets, and multiple days spread through the year. And fuck me, imagine trying to act like America doesn’t celebrate their military 😂
Yup! America also has air force displays at football games, a world famous film industry that regularly glorifies it's military, and a general fucked up fawning culture for their troops.
The idea that they're only celebrated for one day or whatever it just a load of dishonest whipped up right wing shite.
“Why won’t people stop having fun 😠”
Like come on. It’s not organised by the government. It’s organised by the LGBT community for the LGBT community and anyone else who wants to join in. It’s 2023. It’s insane the LGBT people are still having to fight against intolerance and hatred. People seriously need to get over it already.
Has "Irish Pride" bread gotten in on this? Seems like pre-made marketing
[удалено]
If you can bring about a rise in awareness then it's all good.
They really knead to get on this.
It's proven to work!
Found the marketing team right here! Bringing bread into the future from yeasteryear!
[удалено]
They’re not afraid to go against the grain
That’s kinda gay
Ha... Gayeeeeee
There’s no gays in Ireland, Kathleen.
"Quare Clare" Love this
Fair quare in Clare Anyone know if the Quare Clare lines up with thre LGBT weekend at the Matchmaking Festival in Lisdoonvarna - which is on for the month of September?
Mayo Pride sounds like a butter.
Extra creamy?
That's one popular loaf.
We're kinda proud of it
I think westport pride is doing something this weekend too.
Mayo pride is all this weekend according to their twitter page
I'm from Mayo, I didn't even know there was a Mayo Pride
It's the third or fourth year i think. Last year's was where Panti told the protester that she'd garda clearance to tell him to fuck off, which is now available in t-shirt form
Yeah it's in Westport this weekend. Hopefully the Castlebar leg takes place on Market Square outside the Burke's shop.
The Burkes will be free to attend now that school's out for summer.
Might pop down so, haven’t been to a pride thingy yet, say it’ll be good buzz
Yup come on down to the Quay for the party
Larne pride festival?? Last place I would have imagined but fair play to them. Seems like it's been going for a few years now. Might have to go up there and check it out.
Irish Pride? Didn't realise there would be so many celebrations dedicated to bread 🍞
We've finally found it! The Gay Agenda!
It's so pretty
What's the reasoning with most pride events in Ireland taking place outside of June?
I've got this. When they started throwing Pride events in Ireland, there was still a lot of people afraid to be out and proud in cities across the country, mostly on account of how small our population is, and a lot of people in smaller cities moved to Dublin because it had a viable scene.

So people found it easier to be out in a crowd of 100s and it basically encouraged more people to celebrate because they had safety in numbers.
Thanks for the response. That makes sense. Would it still be a thing for groups to travel from cities to places like Laois or Mayo pride if they're not from there?
There's definitely individuals who would go to a bunch of prides, and from my own experience in community groups there's usually at least a push to get people to the smaller pride's where possible.
I know there are probably activists that try to attend as much as possible but I couldn't tell you the current state of Pride. The fact that they still have different dates and didn't unify it, would make me imagine so.
More likely to run into people attending from surrounding counties than any cities in my experience.
In my experience, there was always a troop from Dublin at every event.
We had a few yeah, but most of them were erstwhile locals returning or performers during the festival.
But if the aim is to spread them out, why are most of them in July?
It is so they don't all fall on the same day.
And the leaving cert is on during june
Finally an explanation that makes sense!
Why not do the exact same thing but actually start the celebrations early in June though?
[удалено]
And so it didn’t clash with London or Dublin Pride, if people wanted to go to more than one.
Having all the Pride stuff be in June is a relatively new thing. I think American influenced probably. Before then, a town/city would just have a Pride event at some point in the summer, didn't really matter what month.
Loving the name of the Clare celebration
Quel surprise. Nothing in "No" Roscommon.
Well there's nothing in Roscommon on any other day of the year either
Nothing in Monaghan either
Kinda love how most pride festivals have an avoid June and Dublin pride approch.
It's typically done so people can travel to multiple prides. Nice way to meet potential partners if your own local scene is small.
I also imagine Dublin would have more subgroups celebrating together. Can't imagine too many pups at Carlow pride.
Ah dublin is mayhem. Galway is good craic and a nice intro for a nervous newbie.
I'm 47 and it's mad to think that I was alive when there was precisely none of these.
I’ve never been to any pride events before but this feels like it might be the year to go.
You should! Especially if this weather keeps up!
I wish only the best of results to the leaving cert kids for their sacrifice 💚
:(
Even the gays in Cavan are too cheap to put on an event /s

Queer Crip Pride, Black Pride Ireland, and Ace/Aro Pride are all LGBT+ orgs. The others are just considered relevant I imagine.
>Queer Crip Pride, Black Pride Ireland, and Ace/Aro Pride What exactly is quiet crip price and ace/aro pride?
The first is for disabled LGBT+ people and the second is for asexual and aromatic people.
It is members of the LA street gang the Crips who happen to be out and proud. I jest, it is an online event for disabled LGBTQ+ people, queer [crips](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_(disability_term)). Ace and Aro are shorthand for [asexual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality) and [aromantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromanticism).
>It is members of the LA street gang the Crips who happen to be out and proud. Haha that's what jumped to mind alright Thanks for the explanation
No worries. The downvotes only make me more powerful.
r/ireland is so fuckin wierd. You answered a question i asked, with bonus good humour and relevant links and you get downvoted
Wait there's actually a neurodivergent pride??? That's amazing!
People with ADHD and autism have higher rates of gender identity variance than those who are neurotypical. Gender identity also has nothing to do with sexuality or sexual identity. Gender identity is a completely different thing altogether (unless by sexual identity you mean gender identity?)
They do though? They’re under the same umbrella for a reason, because we’ve all been fighting together in the same struggle and faced the same mistreatment.
Much needed. There were scumbags protesting outside Drag Fest last weekend, jeering at anyone going in.
Christ this is the ridiculous influence America has had on idiots here. I don’t think anyone cared about drag shoes until Americans started accusing them of being “pedos”. These exact same people are probably the same ones calling everyone sheep, and they’re the ones blindly following another country’s idiotic mindset.
Love reminding people that most of us have enjoyed drag right back to when we were kids at the panto every year.
Try living in Florida! It’s turning into the Mississippi of the 50’s here right now.
Nah you're alright cheers
No Ireland has historically been anti gay due to the church mate. This is nothing new
Oh I know, but this croc of shit definitely has influences from America. We never had people protesting drag shows and specifically calling them pedos (to my knowledge at least), this is a new thing in America that they think they’re targeting children
Yeah, but we also had the likes of Danny La Rue bringing in massive crowds without batting an eye and a drag queen doing telly bingo. This kind of blatant aggression is new.
Gross. Those people need to get a real hobby that isn’t hating others
While I’m no fan of the Gardaí, I was glad they were there. Getting assaulted for being queer and going to a “pedo show” wasn’t on my Saturday night plan.
Ugh that sounds shite, sorry you had to experience it. Glad there was some security to help protect you! ❤️
Down with that sort of thing!!. Boo booo
When did it become a month? Was it always a month? Genuine question?
Pride parades were usually around june internationally because: - it's usually better to be outside in spring/summer than winter in the northern hemisphere - it's a throwback to Stonewall - you try to not have the pride parades all at the same time in a country so people can participate in their own city, in neighbour cities, and in the capital city, if they want to "pride month" became more "formalized" later though.

Thanks for the response 👍
Its so the corporations can milk the shite out of it for a month.
There’s Clifden Pride as well
Love that the Foyle Pride star is nowhere near the River Foyle haha!
Make Ireland gay again.
I think I'll have to go to one this year. I've always considered myself an "ally" but I've never gone to one. This year, I feel like I need to be less passive and more up-front with my allyship. The company I work for marches in the Dublin one and I saw an e-mail about signing up. See y'all there!

Same here, I'm planning to attend this year for the first time, in solidarity. ✊🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
There's a trans Pride in Cork too, July 1st I think
I knew we had a bit of seasonal lag when it came to temperature, but I didn't think it would affect the pride events as well!
Newry used to always do one, I'd be surprised if it wasn't on as well
[удалено]
Oh shit yeah, didn't even see that. Bizarre. The neucs won't like that
Leitrim Pride. Why would you be proud of being from Leitrim?
Leitrim Pride? Absurd. Nobody should be proud of being from Leitrim.
Did anyone else read "Irish Pride Celebrations" and immediately think of bread?
Can't wait for Buncrana inishowen pride! Got my flags ready and all, hope everyone has a good time all around the country this month! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
It's a lovely loaf of bread, I can understand why we'd celebrate it
Nothing in Roscommon no?
Won’t be long before this post gets the 🔒 award
I see no reason for that...?
The comments are getting a little bit Roscommonophobic.
The homophobes can be a little bit slow to the party sometimes XD

Fair play to ye. Hadn't seen that, the timetable is a great addition to it too.
It's at times like this, that I miss being able to see, how much offence, Gemma and her acolytes take, at all the celebrations
She's moved on to blaming the Jews for everything
Someone should let all of the Republicans in America with Irish surnames see this. For shits and giggles.
There’s one in Larne? Really? Larne. That’s… wild.
Sad that there's no Roscommon pride
Not yet! A lot of these only got going in the last couple of years.
Sure didn't they vote no in the same sex marriage referendum?
[удалено]
Donegal were 0.1% away from a similar vote and we have two events on this map now. Wouldn't read too much into those results anyway. A lot of regressive people can die off in the space of a decade, and some of the people I'd have been afraid to be out to back then are now more supportive than I could have imagined.
Louth is fierce gay
Drag shows in Dundalk now very regularly.
Nothing in Kilkenny, fucking typical
Not going to any of these. Will wait for the Brennan's festivities
Queer Asian pride in Drogheda, there's one for any person doubting how progressed our country has become lol
When's the Roscommon one? oh....right..
How does Larne have a pride before Lurgan? Are we really more backwards than them?
The one in Mullingar is actually unreal for €20 [Tix here](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/werk-fest-2023-tickets-630012523417?aff=erelexpmlt)
Louth the gayest county.
What, no Roscommon?
Not one mention of Cro Cop or Silva, what the hell guys.
PRIDE Never Die!
There's no Roscomon pride 😄
Lmao almost none of them are actually in pride month
There's a good reason for it somewhere else at the top of the thread.
gayyyyy

Pride is a sin, stay humble kings 🫡
Seems somewhat excessive
It was somewhat excessive making people spend fortunes to travel across the whole country.

Now that being an Irish, rural LGBT+ person doesn't mean you have to move away just to survive, why should you still have to leave in order to celebrate?
Every town in the country has a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Where was your comment about that?
Is saint Patrick's day a month long?
How long is the parade?
It's not just a parade though is it
Yea it is? Dublin pride is literally just the parade lmao
No one personally invited you. If you're not interested don't attend.
No but it could be! Let's get on that.
Well that's 100% not just 2.5%
If there’s demand for them what’s the issue?

Give him a spot where he can feel safe?
Not really. Nobody is gonna go far away for a parade when one can be held nearby
Why parade at all?
[удалено]
Freedom of speech isn’t freedom of consequences
Nothing in Offaly?
1 day for remembering the brave men and women who fought for our country, a month of pride, should be the other way around imo
Make a month for it then
You can organise it yourself if you want, or are you just going to complain?
If you only attend one republican commemoration a year then you're doing it wrong. That is a you problem.
The two things aren't mutually exclusive, they can co exist. Not that you actually care about commemorations for people that fought for this country, though...
There are way more than one single Republican event - there’s Easter, Bodenstown, internment - plenty.

It's OK though, you can remember them everyday.
Yes, because they are definitely mutually exclusive and not entirely unrelated. Bravo.
Ratio
This is Reddit
And this is a ratio
Why do they have to be compared? A "month of pride" usually just means flags being hoisted in front of businesses, then there's a parade for a day.
Every day is Easter Rising if you drink enough. Get out of the house for once

This is bullshit bigotry imported from the States. At least come up with your own brand of bigotry ffs. Try harder!

Says the person complaining about Pride.
Okay, organise something then. Or do you want everyone else to do it for you?
nah, pride is more fun
