    Happy Pride 2024, all! 😎🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈👍👍

    Our freedoms to be ourselves were very hard won - and we can never, ever be complacent given the extent of vile homophobic hatred around the world...and still here in Ireland too, sadly, given the attack on a gay couple in Dublin earlier this week.

    You'd think Irish people more than most would appreciate the importance of openly and colourfully celebrating your culture and freedom to express your existace when you've had to fight for it from an oppressive autocratic authortiy, but no…

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Apart from the usual hatred and violence that's possibly the thing that gets on my wick the most about those so-called "patriots", they have no knowledge of our history, and no appreciation that we have, for our size, the largest diaspora in the world. But no, fck immigrints… 🙄

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    I saw David McCullagh refer to Saturdays Pride event as "Gay Pride" on Six-One news yesterday. In the auto-cue or out of his head idk. Hope he doesn't get in trouble for 'erasure'.

    It all began here 50 years ago this month, when a tiny number of brave people protested outside the Dept. of Justice on St. Stephen's Green in June 1974.

    The gay rights movement in Ireland, formed a few months earlier, were carrying out their first protest, 5 years after Stonewall. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

    Genuine question, is it just Dublin hosts a pride march ?

    I'm a bit perturbed at the image the journal have used to lead the Pride parade story. I confess to having a bit of an aversion to the aul penises myself but I can't for the life of me understand why it's necessary to protest in tighty whities.

    Don't get me wrong I understand the need to take a stand against discrimination and violent displays of homophobia and harrassment and abuse on our streets and in our society but for the love of Benji, how is showing me your cock supposed to convey that message?

    I had a read of some reports coming in earlier and I thought it was all relatively composed in comparison to the flamboyance you'd normally associate with GP, it was good to see people rallying together in support of each other, the various groups reaching out and sending a message of solidarity which was really nice and then the journal went and ruined it all by updating the main feature with a picture of some gay men in crotches. I know I'm getting old but it's just disturbing.

    Help me out here.

    edit:and then went and opened the comment section on a story that had been off limits all day. Pretty bad journalism.

    seems appropriate for the week that's in it 🎶



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,973 ✭✭✭Hamsterchops


    End of the month, so I presume all those colourful flags will be taken down, folded up and put away until next June.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,007 ✭✭✭Feisar


    I had a double take at the first pic, I thought it was a photo of an anti-protest!

    First they came for the socialists...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,705 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    Nothing like a Pride thread to show why we need Pride in 2024.

    Happy Pride to the LGBT+ Boardsies!

    Toronto Pride Parade

    The LGBTQ movement really don't help themselves when they claim these events are kid friendly and then allow weirdos to jump around naked in the middle of them.Gives credence to people who criticise them who the LGBTQ movement claim are lying. Probably should just stop pretending the whole thing is family friendly and accept its for adults and leave it at that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,847 ✭✭✭Apiarist


    Wow, you really had to scour the depth of the cesspit we call internet to find one weirdo somewhere half the world away. And you felt it important to share the video during the morning time, when any kid can see it just by browsing this forum. How did you find this video? Just out of curiosity, did you type "pride parade penis outrage" in Google or does the Bing AI automatically suggest such things to you?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,705 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    I didn't see any children in that video. We've only that tweet to go on and it reeks of homophobia. The same people who'll pretend that this is true and a legitimate stick to use for their anti-LGBT+ agenda will wail if you use the same logic for the right in general by citing Tommy Robinson.

    Another video of the same event.

    https://x.com/Partisangirl/status/1807231463223648613

    Popped up on twitter for me last week, didn't actually go searching for it at all .

    You're the problem , it doesn't matter what sort of weirdos they are if they claim they are part of the LGBTQ movement their degeneracy is acceptable and that's what prancing about bollock naked at a supposed family friendly event (Prides marches are advertised as family friendly events these days) is whether you want to accept it or not, people like you do more harm to the LGBTQ movement because you accept weirdos as long as they claim to be LGBTQ , if that was a St Patricks day parade everyone would say those guys are weirdo's so why is it not ok to do the same in this instance.The gay rights movement over the years fought hard to disassociate itself from weirdos like this.

    Those are pretty regular displays from Pride marches in America and Canada



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,762 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    Yeah that's pretty tame. There's one going round this moring from San Francisco when someone is taking a leak on an ugly old man on the street. I won't post it it's gross lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,161 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    A lot of Pride stuff has been taken over by fetishists and exhibitionists.

    I want a Straight Pride march myself 😉 Where is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,847 ✭✭✭Apiarist


    There is this thing as an internet bubble. If you consume this type of content, you will get more and more of it, until all you see are very specific, pointed things, aimed and primed just for you. And soon, in another year or so, half or more of your content will be automatically generated by AI content generators, which will tailor the contents of what is being fed into your stream exclusively for you.

    There is a cure for that. It is called reality. You can come to a pride parade yourself, get soaked and participate, just like I did :) You can sign up to be a modesty marshal, it is such an omission that this has been overlooked so far. I am sure you can go out there to the Dublin Pride organizing committee and convince them that you are the person who can make the Parade truly child friendly. If that is what you care about, and not just posting crap on the web.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭gym_imposter


    The very idea of taking kids to a pride event is just off the wall to me

    I'm strongly against politicising a kids upbringing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,705 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    By this logic, they shouldn't be taken to mass or church. I'm guessing that that's fine though.

    The month is definently being used as a disguise for perves and paedos. Thinking they are protected under the umbrella of LGBTQ etc etc.

    There was a video of some auld fella in a wig flashing his mob during the parade. If that is something you are happy to have your child exposed to then you are part of the problem. If my child had seen that, Id have choked the fella with his own wig.

    Seriously deranged and dangerous people out there.

    Gay pride was fine until they added every other letter of the alphabet so the mentally deranged could get involved. One of my very close friends is gay, he cannot stand the movement, the last 2-3 years I can see why.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭gym_imposter


    Where's the politics in going to church?

    We don't take ours BTW

    Of course he can't, most gay people are ordinary folks ,not extreme exhibitionists
