Last minute outfit alteration for tomorrow, got invited by a friend to join the Pride Parade with her and TENI (never been to one before, watched and cheered from the side of the street in the past but think it's important to show support in person).
Great atmosphere, gorgeous people all over #HappyPride #TransHealthcareNow
I'm cynical of the official Pride because of the participation of the Garda (seriously? Even fter escorting fascists into libraries to remove books on top of everything else?) and the corporate sponsors but it was a glorious day and seeing my city so full of joy was moving and reassuring against the hateful attacks to LGBTQ+ people and rights.
To see so many people of all ages and nationalities (shout out to the Kurdistan Pride group) expressing themselves and supporting each other like it should always be, to have people take over the streets and be cheered from flats balconies, to feel part of a community instead of rejection from a society afraid of anything it cannot control.
If you couldn't make it yesterday or the big parade wasn't your thing, you can show your support for true liberation and accessible trans healthcare on the 8th of July for Trans & Intersex Pride @ Garden of Rememberance 2PM #DublinPride #TransHealthcareNow
