I vouch for this group and everyone involved and would encourage you to support them in any way you can as anti-LGBTQ+ hate ramps up in NI and the DUP/TUV target trans kids.

Foyle pride and ourselves have something new to announce 😁
💜 Parents of LGBTQIA+ kids – you don’t have to do this alone. 💜 Right now, in Northern Ireland, too many families are left without support when their child comes out. It can feel isolating, confusing, or even overwhelming, and that’s not fair on parents or on our young people. That’s why we’re starting something new: NEST A peer-led network of parents who understand, who care, and who are ready to walk this road together. From Foyle to the Causeway Coast, through Ballymena, Mid & East Antrim, Newtownabbey, and Carrickfergus – NEST will bring parents together for local meet-ups, cups of tea, honest chats, and solidarity. If you’re a parent or carer and want to be part of this new community, drop us an email, and we’ll get you linked in. Because every young person deserves a family that feels supportive, and every parent deserves a nest to land in. n.e.s.t.parentsgroup@gmail.com Jason Dunne (Chair Foyle Pride) Curtis Lee (Chair MEA Pride) Gwen Montgomery (Mams4TransNI) Riley McCahon (Chair Causeway Pride)

My antidepressants were upped recently, and I’m not doing well ✨

I’ve been on the sick from work for over 4 weeks, I never used to be one to nap during the day but I’m oversleeping to the point of exhaustion. Appetite is all over the show & my mood swings are brutal, 😭

Youth Pride in Dundalk yesterday at the outcomers centre, started the day with a radio interview and #slurrygate was even a talking point in Dundalk. 🤣

Belfast City Council voting to remove the bonfire beside a hospital substation and also remove asbestos from the site and the DUP voting against this because they must always be on the wrong side of absolutely everything.

They'd eat sand in the Sahara just cause everyone else is drinking water.
