Workshop 7: Pride 101
We take a look at the history and meaning of Pride in Ireland and across the globe. This interactive session is designed to give participants a close understanding of Pride and to explore the valuable role of allies and LGBTQ+ folks alike in supporting the ongoing struggle for equality.
Some of the topics we'll discuss:
How did Pride begin, and what were the risks for LGBTQ+ people in those early days? What did it mean to be LGBTQ+ in Ireland at the time of the first Pride?.
Pride today: what the march looks like now, how it's changed, and how the community has dealt with those changes. Addressing the question of whether the day is a party, or a protest - or both!
Respect at Pride: building a better understanding of our language and terminology so that all LGBTQ+ people feel safe and supported on the day.
The future of Pride: what battles the LGBTQ+ community is still fighting, and how we can all support the important causes.
This workshop includes access to the Allies' Guide to Pride resource and the option of ongoing support and advice for all participants
