Congratulation to all involved.
Galway and Belfast.
Good news for small town Ireland..... wouldn't happen in Warsaw!
Was the Labour Cllr. the only politican at the event?
Up to 100 people marched through the streets of Sligo last Saturday as part of the first gay pride parade in the town.
The parade was the centrepiece of a three-day event, which celebrated the lives of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered (LGBT) people in Sligo and the north-west.
Due to the success of the weekend, it is now hoped that it will become an annual event.
One of the organisers of LGBT Pride Northwest, Izzy O'Rourke, who lives near Drumshambo, said: “It was the type of parade that saw us have more people at the end than at the beginning. People wanted to see how it was received before they joined. This is a big issue still in society and to join a parade like this was a big thing for most people.
“Having said that, it was a success to both the organisers and to those who had the courage to take part in the parade.”
As she explained, there are many more who for various reasons including their place of employment, could not take part in the parade.
And while the memory of the horrific attack in Sligo town on gay writer Robert Drake in 1999 remains vivid, Ms O’Rourke explained that those in the march didn’t experience any difficulty.
“The marchers didn’t experience any trouble during the parade and in fact we had many people congratulating us on the achievement.”
The march began at the Model Arts and Niland Gallery and finished at City Hall last Saturday afternoon.
While the parade was the highlight of the event, there was live entertainment throughout the weekend along with a picnic on Sunday afternoon.
The event was officially launched by Labour councillor Declan Bree.

No, Robin. I believe three Sligo Sinn Fein Councillors were also in attendance, Sean MacManus, Arthur Gibbons and Chris MacManus.
looking forward to seeing a gay sinn fein cummann in the future so.
