Are you taking part in any LGBTQ events for pride month?

freshpopcorn · 10-06-2019 5:03pm #1

I saw the Gardai Today said they were taking part in Dublin pride later this month and they showed some cars they transformed for the event.
Personally myself I'm not doing anything for the month. I know a few people who'll probably attend Dublin pride.
I know the event is becoming more and more popular with families in the last few years. Mostly with people close to the events. Is there anybody here travelling with their family to LGBTQ events this year?
Or is it something that you've to do in your work place?

I wasn't planning to, but if I''m around when a party happens, then sure why not.

Nobody told the Corkonians there was a special month, they don't start until end of July :P

My workplace organises an annual Pride Parade float, as do others (other employers are available).

I think it's important to have an alternative national holiday, where we (straight, male and pale) are the guests of a minority, and not vice versa. It seems to be quite a healthy pursuit.

Leaving aside all that political stuff, which most participants seem not to care about, it's quite an impressive show. How anyone could begrudge such fun is really beyond my comprehension.

I'm dressing up as a woman to promote transgender equality.

Snide passive aggressive remarks like that aren't very masculine, so you're already halfway there.

KikiLaRue · 10-06-2019 5:13pm

Nope. Much love for the cause, hate big noisy drunken crowds. It’s up there with Paddy’s Day and NYE in terms of celebrations I’d pay good money not to be in Dublin for.

I usually do the 5km run in the Phoenix Park, good fun.

A whole month of cringe?

Nope.

Nope.

I presume certain businesses have seen that there's a lot of money to be made out of it. Can't see any other reason it would be extended to a whole month.

How does it differ from a non gay one ? Or at least a match where people don't have to tell you about where they put their willy.

Yes it was. You're not the tough, hard man you think you are.

Pride is usually a good excuse for a decent p*ss up but I wouldn't concern myself with doing anything else for it.

I thought I read about it on the rte website a few days ago but I can't seem to find the article anymore

JohnnyFlash · 10-06-2019 5:45pm

Any excuse to wear my assless chaps in public.

sabat · 10-06-2019 5:49pm

I'm going to celebrate in the traditional manner by getting a gang of gobby teenage girls dressed like idiots and drunk on naggins then heading into town to screech obnoxiously before puking and crying all over Dame St.

_Kaiser_ · 10-06-2019 5:55pm

Nope I'm not.

Hope anyone participating enjoys, but doesn't impact me so won't be doing anything

I'm hoping to get the day off work to take the kids to the parade and we are going to an LGBTQ family day afterwards. I've always done something to mark it. We make a family day of it.

mdk_kdm · 10-06-2019 6:37pm

Unfortunately I have a phobia of homosexuals so no.

No. The whole thing seems ridiculous to me. Bunch of gay lads marching around shouting 'we're gay! Give us attention!'.

Why is this in AH ?

If someone posted a motors meetup in AH it would be moved to the proper forum.

Because society has deemed you must be subjected to rainbow flags and reminded of BLTQ issues on a daily basis.

Yep and it absolutely kills you doesn't it? You're sitting there hammering those keys, seething with impotent rage.

Class.
