Just a quick congratulations to everyone on the successful Pride events and parade, GLYNI did really well, and we will have all our photos available to those who want them!

GLYNI will be on as usual on Fridays, and throughout August we will be opening our Monday evenings as an additional summer drop-in. So come along, whether you are old or new! Would be great to see some new faces from Pride!

Peace, out!

Quick announcement for those wondering what the situation is in the morning; we will be setting up from 10am at the GLYNI building.
It would be great to have as many people there early as possible, to carry things and get ready for the day!
Wishing everyone a great pride!
Peace, out!

Hey everyone! GLYNI is hosting a public workshop tomorrow evening for Pride, called ‘Signs and Symbols’! We will be painting banners, signs, t-shirts, all for use in Saturday’s Pride Parade. Everyone is welcome, LGBT or not, so bring your friends and family!

The event is being held in the Black Box, and begins at 7pm. There are no age restrictions!

Belfast Pride launched!

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!
