The 20th Belfast Pride was launched successfully last night in Queen’s Film Theatre, Belfast. With hordes of priders there for the event, an enlightening and entertaining documentary ‘Pride, Sweat and Tears’ was launched (featuring, in part, yours truly ;P).
The documentary covered the history of Belfast Pride, and I was particularly impressed with some of the old footage from years gone by. With contributions from many members of the Pride committee past and present, as well as high-profile political leadership views from former Mayor and current MP for East Belfast Naomi Long, as well as current Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, the documentary covered all aspects of Pride, from the reasons, to the organisation, to the protestors, to the fun and events… it really is not to be missed!
It is getting a second showing on Tuesday at the Northstar Science Fiction Night Pride Event, which is at The Roost bar on Tuesday 27th, at 8pm, where you will also get to watch a science-fiction triple feature of Doctor Who, Star Trek: Voyager and Family Guy Star Wars!
Pride 2010 has begun!

Booth, a 17-year-old Burberry model, played the Culture Club singer in Worried About The Boy and will play the role of a street cleaner who Isherwood has a brief relationship with.
Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, 27, is to play Isherwood in the film, titled Christopher And His Kind.
It began shooting in Belfast this week and tells the story of the authot as a young man who escapes his suffocating mother to move to Berlin in the 1930s.
The film is based on Isherwood’s memoirs of the same name.
Smith became the 11th Doctor Who last year, succeeding David Tennant.
GLYNI are pleased to announce the first of its new groups outside Belfast. The first meeting of GLYNI Craigavon, supported by the Community Network Craigavon, will be on Monday 26th April at the CNC building (see link for the address http://www.cnconline.uk.com/contactUs.asp ).

Hi everyone
Below is the email we received from Youthnet asking us to compile a response. It is going to out to all members, and this will inevitably have impacts across all youth organisations currently in receipt of funding from the Department or other Govt branches.
GLYNI’s regional youth officer is funded by DENI through Youthnet, along with several other projects. This budget is constrained enough without further cuts being made to it. GLYNI also is in recepit of Youth Council of Northern Ireland monies which are paid to Cara-Friend to cover running costs for the rooms we use, as well as rent etc.
If we lose these, or have them reduced, GLYNI’s services to LGBT young people across NI, including supporting our new groups, will be severely affected, and disrupted. Please support us by telling us your views on how you believe GLYNI has helped you or someone you know, and how it is a vital service that needs to be kept at it’s current funding level, or indeed increased. PLEASE!! Thank you, Liamx
