It’s Pride season! The month’s festivities kick off with Cork’s parade on the June bank holiday Sunday. And June concludes with Dublin’s parade on Saturday, the 25th. And there’s plenty happening in between, before and after – these highlights are very Kerry, Cork and Dublin-centred, so let us know in the comments if we’ve left anything out!

Dublin Pride are looking for suggestions for this year’s Grand Marshall of the parade. Whoever gets the honour will be included in list of revered previous Grand Marshalls; Lydia Foy, Senator David Norris, Toni Walsh and Alibhe Smyth. Personally, I think Panti should be our Grand Marshall as she’s is every other day of the year, but then again, maybe it should be someone new.

Not that I am complaining, ye are all fabulous!

Yes, Panti and pals are pulling out all the stops for Pride: street party, food including barbecue, extra bars, extra staff, extra urinals for the lads. But what about the ladies? No extra cubicles for the leslies are being provided, but you can get some funnels to do the job.

This year, Dublin’s Dyke Night will be raising awareness about breast cancer as well as raising your awareness of women’s breasts. Like you needed it. Tickle me Pink is gone bigger and better than the last Dyke Nights with a new venue and a world-class headline act in Wallis Bird.

At last the weekend is upon us! But what have you missed in Gaelick-land this week? Here’s a quick round-up of what we’ve been yakking about.

If you look it up in the dictionary is says “a becoming or dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one’s position or character; self-respect; self-esteem”. It’s a word thrown around a lot, we’re told we should take pride in our work and in who we are and who we know. For me [...]
