Dublin Pride questions Prejudice

Dublin LGBTQ Pride Ltd. is proud to announce that this year's Dublin LGTBQ Pride Festival will take place from Friday 19 June to Sunday 28 June 2009.

This year's theme "Pride and Prejudice?", celebrates pride in who we are as LGBTQ people and as a community, whilst questioning our community, society in general and ourselves on our attitudes and prejudices. The festival should celebrate diversity and challenge peoples' perceptions of it. Our theme this year will also formally introduce Dublin Pride's new Arts and Cultural committee to the festival

For 26 years, Dublin Pride has led the annual celebration of gay life in Ireland. From modest beginnings, we have gone from a one-day event to a full-blown 10-day festival. This year we have ambitious plans to make Dublin LGBTQ Pride 2009 the most colourful and best Pride Festival EVER! With a more co-ordinated image, an expanded arts and cultural content, to the multiplicity of clubs and new club nights, Dublin’s scene will be alive and rocking for this unique annual festival event.
