Paul Ryder reveals what’s in store for Dublin’s first Digital Pride parade

We need this.

We need this.

As we enter Phase Two restrictions put in place to combat the spread of the Coronavirus are being lifted. That being said, we’re not back to normal and there are major events that have been cancelled or postponed as a result.

One of them is the Dublin Pride parade.

Originally pushed back to September, we heard earlier this month that organisers have instead opted to rally the troops and truly ‘all be in this together’ by hosting a Virtual Pride Parade on Sunday June 28th. We were absolute thrilled to hear the news but of course we needed to know more…

Paul Ryder is co-hosting Virtual Pride along with Eddie McGuinness. The parade itself will be a mix of pre-recorded and live elements and they’re looking for submissions from members of the community and allies so that everyone can share in the joy of pride.

Lord knows we need some joy *shakes fist at 2020*.

Listen in to our latest episode of Girls With Goals at 31.52 below to hear Paul talking about how you can get involved:
