Belfast Pride Volunteers stood in solidarity with GATE Ulster at today’s protest in Belfast!🏳️‍⚧️

It’s essential that Trans young people feel safe, supported, and included in every space! An attack on Trans youth is an attack on all young people.

During an extremely difficult time for our Trans and Gender Diverse community, Belfast Pride will continue to fight..
We hear you.
We see you.
We stand with you.
We will fight for you.
You matter.
You are loved🩷

Happy International Asexuality Day! 🖤🩶🤍💜

Asexual is a term used to describe someone who has little to no sexual attraction towards individuals of any gender.

There are different types of asexual or ace identities.

To those in our community who identify under the asexual umbrella..
You are seen,
You are heard,
You are valid,
You are loved

Last night, we had our theme launch in the Oh Yeah Music Centre! Thank you to everyone who joined us, to our amazing performers - Pure Bent and Quire Belfast, and a huge thank you to our incredible Volunteers who put in all the hard work behind the scenes!

We are proud to announce our theme for Belfast Pride Festival 2026… 35 Years of Love in Every Colour!🌈

At a time when everyone’s rights are under attack, most recently our Trans Community.
We don’t know how our future will look for our LGBTQIA+ community but we will be here protesting and celebrating.

35 years ago, 100 brave people took to the streets of Belfast to protest and celebrate their identities. Without them, Belfast Pride would not be where we are today. We have grown so much bringing 83,000 people onto the streets of Belfast in 2025.

Our theme this year, “Love in Every Colour” honours that journey and recognises the courage of those individuals who came before us and the rising voices of those today who work tirelessly to protect our future and our beautiful community!

As we mark our incredible 35th anniversary of Belfast Pride Festival, we celebrate not only how far we’ve come, but the strength and support we find in eachother in a community where everyone is welcomed and loved!

Our theme this year honours everyone within our community. All genders, all sexual orientations, all sexualities and all identities! To celebrate this, we are excited to announce, we will be unveiling our new giant flag at this year’s parade, celebrating “Love in Every Colour” and in that love, first and foremost, there is Pride.

Please join us for Belfast Pride Festival 2026 running from Friday 17th July to Sunday 26th July with our Parade being held on Saturday 25th July! Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us!

Belfast Pride fully disagrees with the shameful decision by the Health Minister’s decision to suspend NI’s participation in the UK-wide Pathway clinical trial.

Removing participation to a structured, research-based programme risks denying our young people evidence-informed care and isolates Northern Ireland from wider clinical standards.

Our gender diverse and questioning young people deserve compassionate, specialist-led support, including appropriate access to puberty blockers. Decisions about their healthcare should prioritise medical expertise, patient wellbeing, and parity of access across the board.

We call on the NI Executive to sit up and listen! We demand NI be part of these clinical trials. Anything short of this would be tacit endorsement of the harm inflicted on our trans community on a daily basis.

It’s been an extremely difficult time for our Trans community, but Belfast Pride will continue to fight..
We hear you.
We see you.
We stand with you.
We will fight for you.
You matter.

Edit: We have turned off comments on this post due to the volume of transphobic remarks being left.

Belfast Pride believes in creating spaces that are respectful, safe, and inclusive for everyone.
