🏳️‍🌈, politico, social liberal, centre left, secular, European 🇪🇺. Advocacy & Policy, National LGBT Federation (NXF). Rather partial to felines. Views my own.
The NXF and our 🏳️‍🌈 colleagues have released the following statement in relation to the shameful attempt by Orban’s far right regime in Hungary to ban Pride.

A move that is straight out of the Kremlin playbook.

Concrete actions must follow 🇪🇺

The @nxf.ie was proud to join yesterday’s protest in Dublin against the shameful & unacceptable attempt to ban #BudapestPride by the far right Orban regime.

We stand in full solidarity with Hungary’s LGBT+ community.

🇪🇺 must protect its basic values of equality & democracy.

It was such a joy to join the wonderful Marlon on his Dublin South FM show this week.

We chatted about my LGBT+ advocacy work and what inspired me to be active in the space 🏳️‍🌈

As #Seanad25 begins to take shape, I’m thinking of our longest serving Senator who served with such distinction between 1987-2024.

David Norris is the embodiment of what the Seanad should be and used it to great effect.

A shining legacy. 🏳️‍🌈

Congratulations Micheal Martin on being elected #Taoiseach again.

I had the opportunity to speak with him twice as part of our NXF Pride Series 🏳️‍🌈

An honourable man, he expressed strong support for LGBT+ equality issues.

Allyship especially important in these times.

It should be acknowledged that Sean O’Fearghail was a great advocate for equality & diversity as Ceann Comhairle.

Hosted an excellent event at Dublin Castle and raised the 🏳️‍🌈 Flag on the lawn of Leinster House.

His successor should take note.

I have a piece in this month’s GCN (Gay Community News) on the recently passed Hate Offences Act and what must happen next.

At its meeting last night, Cork City Council Cllrs overwhelmingly passed a motion declaring Cork to be proud of the work of LGBT+ groups and that the city condemns any and all forms of homophobia & transphobia. 👏

Thanks to Lab Cllr Laura Harmon for proposing 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

So pleased to see solid & consistent progressive voices win seats in #GeneralElection24 #GE24

Never more important as illiberal forces in 🇮🇪 and beyond attack equality & social progress.

A number of those newly elected allies attended our #VoteWithPride 🏳️‍🌈Manifesto launch.

The National LGBT Federation (NXF) and our partners are calling on the incoming Govt to strengthen 🏳️‍🌈 rights.

That includes a full, no-loopholes ban on so-called ‘conversion practices’.

It’s time 🇮🇪 joined the growing number of countries that have outlawed this inherently abusive practice.

The NXF and our partners in the 🏳️‍🌈 sector have published our #VoteWithPride Manifesto ahead of #GE24

One of our asks is for the next Govt to update incitement to hatred legislation to make it fit-for-purpose.

The safety of our communities is more important than ‘populist’ politics.

The NXF and our partners in the 🏳️‍🌈 sector have prepared a voter guide ahead of Friday’s #GE24 comparing the Manifesto commitments of each party against our own Manifesto asks.

#VoteWithPride on Friday.

Forwards. Not Backwards. #GE2024

Great to join GOSHH in Limerick today for their regional launch of our #VoteWithPride 🏳️‍🌈 Manifesto - our sector’s key asks & priorities for #GE24

LGBT+ voters are a highly politically engaged & savvy community.

We vote.
