Causeway Pride is entering its 4th year and in a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are under renewed attack, our very existence is an act of resistance. We are a small Pride on the north coast, but we are unapologetically political. We are here to honour Mark Ashton’s legacy... Solidarity and standing with our community no matter the cost. We are here to make the Causeway Coast (and one day all of Northern Ireland) a place where everyone belongs. And we are here to fight back against politicians who have failed us, abandoned us, and continue to side with those who want to erase us. Let’s be clear: LGBTQIA+ rights were never handed to us. They were fought for. They are still being fought for. And we refuse to let them be taken quietly

Every Causeway Pride event is free deliberately. Pride is not a product. Our community is not a marketing opportunity. Rainbow capitalism might thrive elsewhere, but it will never define Pride on the Causeway Coast. But resistance has a cost. As we grow, so do the practical realities: a longer parade route, accessible and powerful sound systems, stewarding, safety, and the ability to organise radical, community-focused events beyond a single day in the calendar. Our ethics are non-negotiable. We do not accept funding from corporations, the local council, or anything linked to fossil fuels. That choice is ours and we stand by it. Our Pride is accountable to the community, not to profit or PR.

In previous years, Causeway Pride has been built by: • committee members funding it from our own pockets • trade unions showing real solidarity • members of the public who believe in queer liberation • and a proudly queer-supporting pub Now, as we build Causeway Pride 2026, we’re asking for solidarity once again. If you can donate, you are directly supporting a Pride that is community-led, anti-corporate, and rooted in collective resistance. You are helping us take up space, make noise, and remind everyone that we are not going anywhere. We are STILL HERE. STILL PROUD.

Thank you so much Jess, we are so lucky to have you.

DUP supprters in NI are supporting Iranians who are celebrating the death of a dictator. Their support begins and ends with the words "glad you'll be able to go home now to a safe country". You couldn't make it up, well you could where DUP supporters are concerned.

There is plenty of it about

It does look like Jared Leto

I know, the size of the can of coke.

People who believe, portray Jesus as a caring, compassionate and considerate person. Why then do those who are so full of hate, bigotry and rage, treat people like dirt. They say they are Christians and are so full of righteousness. They are fanatical cretins who are unhinged.
Jesus as air crew 😂😂

This is a shockingly awful statistic and quite frankly shows the atrocious state of the anti trans world media, not only the UK. Leave trans people alone, you bunch of hounds. It costs nothing to allow people to live a quiet life. It's basic common decency, something the far right has little of.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

Read my accessible analysis of Goodwin v UK – why it still matters, and what the courts are getting wrong – here:

This family of narcissists deserve all they get. It's a clear case of f**k around and find out 😂😂. Personally I'd throw away the key.

Yeah, there are also taller soldiers, who knew

Hilarious

Very true, apparently he doesn't have them, but he might soon.

My bad 😬

It's always the same in families like that.

I heard that too. There are soldiers who are taller it appears.

Their only sacrifice is to the altar of themselves.

Yip, it's easier to allow others to take the hit.

Great idea, that's the fairest way.

Donald Trump is very happy for everyone else's child to go to war, not so much his own children it seems.

Iranian nationals are close to the top of the list when it comes to what Farage calls "illegal immigrants".
The same 🤡 is now praying for the wonderful Persian people of Iran.
So what happens should those wonderful people flee Iran to come to the UK via small boats? He is such a hypocrite.

Wouldn't you know, fuel prices have started to rise already.

I didn't even know that was a thing but it actually makes a lot of sense

What a wonderful family dynamic. Kids put some adults to shame where acceptance is concerned.

He will probably get someone to make one for him again.

I've just seen the funniest name on Facebook for Matt Goodwin.
Matt Badloser, and he really is. Having a little cry when Hannah's numbers came in. Wouldn't he have called that woke???😂😂😂.

He really thought he had won. Bad mouthing Muslim constituents and then expecting their vote. Loser 😄😄😄

This has got to be a joke. Orange head says he wants freedom for the Iranian people.
Meanwhile in the US he targets and removes the freedoms of trans people on a daily basis. They are afraid to leave their homes, their healthcare and ID documents are removed. That is the very opposite of freedom.

Trump is not bombing Iran for the good of its clearly oppressed citizens.
There has to be something bigger at play.
Most likely it will be his intention to try and control a new regime or Iran's rich supply of fossil fuels, natural gas and oil.
And a medal of course.
