Ballymena now has an up & running LGBTQ+ youth group that I’ll be working with. We’re going on a trip tomorrow to Dundalk, and I just think it’s so bloody brilliant to have these local services to support young people. This is the legacy I wanted @meapride.bsky.social to create. 🫶🏻

Marching in Ballymena today with @queergreensni.bsky.social for @meapride.bsky.social 🏳🌈
In Budapest, the government tried to ban Pride and block it with neo-nazis. In Ballymena, bigots spread slurry on the parade route and shouted bible verses at marchers.
At both, Pride persisted, unbroken 💚

Fair play Ballymena. We all know there’s some folk who didn’t want to see it, but the majority of locals watching on from the sides were warm & welcoming. There was much genuine enthusiasm & joy on the streets today.

We need feet on the ground on Saturday like never before, certain groups and organisations registered for the parade have lost participants given recent events in the town.
