DonnchaHolding Hands
Two hands intertwined, fingers gently clasped together as a couple watches the festivities unfold around them. The simple act of holding hands in public, something many take for granted, becomes a quiet celebration of love and belonging at Cork Pride.
While this year’s event was smaller than last year’s celebration (perhaps due to the absence of Eurovision star Bambie Thug, or simply the rising costs of travel), the energy remained undimmed. The parade began on Grand Parade before winding its way down St. Patrick Street, with dozens of people proudly carrying a massive pride flag that rippled in the hot, humid afternoon air.
After the parade, the community gathered at Kennedy Quay for the traditional after-party, where the real magic happened. Gay men danced together in the summer heat, some bare-chested, others waving colorful fans as they laughed and moved to the music. Same-sex couples like the one in this photograph stood hand in hand, watching the celebration with quiet contentment, expressing their love openly in a space where they felt safe to do so. These moments, the dancing, the hand-holding, the unguarded laughter, show exactly why Pride events are needed now more than ever.
The laughter, the energy, and the community were all so beautifully, defiantly joyful.
More photos from Cork Pride coming tomorrow.

Maikel de BakkerPride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 1)
Yesterday, I attended the Pride Walk during Roze Maandag at the Tilburgse Kermis — a celebration of love, freedom, and being unapologetically yourself. Roze Maandag is more than just a day of pink and glitter. It’s a statement: you are welcome here, whoever you are.
This is part one of a five-part series covering the event. Today’s photos, taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, offer a gentle start — portraits of energy, color, and connection. You’ll see a lot of pink, yes — it’s tradition after all — but also strength, joy, and humanity in motion.
Events like these are important. They give visibility to the LGBTQ+ community and celebrate the right to exist freely in public space — something still not guaranteed everywhere. Photography can help document that presence. A camera becomes both witness and amplifier.
More is coming — each post a bit louder, bolder, and more full of sparkle. For now, I hope you enjoy this first look through my lens.

I just got told that I am not a real Christian since I am gay. I think that is the biggest contradiction of Christ's work I have ever, ever, ever heard in my life. I think self reflection and how some people choose to love and show respect needs to be reevaluated. My goodness. ✝️🏳️🌈
On a positive note, happy pride month to all of my LGBT peaps! If someone hates you for being yourself, they are bitter and have nothing better to criticize. Let's fight them with kindness. 🕶️💙
