There is only one man from Ireland who could draw the visual attention of almost all major international news media coverage of Budapest Pride 2025 - The Guardian, BBC News, LA Times, Sky News, Al Jazeera, CNN, Reuters, AP, and more.

That man is Eddie McGuinness.

Seems like yesterday's Dublin Dyke March went really well! Several hundred attending, proper protest vibes, and strong intersectional solidarity. ✊🏼

I was devo to miss such a historical event - hopefully the go again next year.

(It's a pity they seem to only be on Zuckergram, though, it hasn't been easy finding that out.)

Dublin Pride 2025

Today’s the day for Dublin Pride 2025. It’s thought that over 100,000 are attending! Best wishes to everyone attending from one of The Olds. Although the weather’s not the greatest, I hope everyone has a grand time.

I’m wearing my GCN T-shirt for the occasion!

This is a pretty decent summary from @TheJournal of the history of queer liberation movement and Pride in Ireland:

"From less than a dozen marchers to tens of thousands: A history of Dublin Pride"

From less than a dozen marchers to tens of thousands: A history of Dublin Pride

The celebration of Pride in Ireland today has its roots in the boots-on-the-ground activism of the 1970s and 1980s.
