Commemorating the Stonewall riot in 1969, which is seen by many to be the birth of the modern queer rights movement, Dublin Pride celebrates the diversity, talent, lives and creativity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and transvestite people. Dublin Pride will be co-operating and co-ordinating with Pride celebrations around Ireland throughout June and July. The fifth anniversary of the rejuvenated Pride celebrations in * Dublin * will be more remarkable than ever before. A week of amazing events will culminate on the 29th June with Dublin's queer mardi gras: the biggest, most festive parade and party in Dublin's queer history. Some of the fabulous events planned for Pride Week include: Pride Picnic & Barbeque on a beach in Dublin Bay 'Pride in Diversity' Art Exhibition Cabaret Outwrite Readings Special Pride Film Safer Sex Workshops Public Meeting plus discos, quizzes, - & whatever you're having yourself We are very pleased that the Union of Students in Ireland's Student Centre in Temple Bar, Dublin city centre, will once again host the Pride Party on *Saturday 29th June 1996*.
