About Dublin Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Pride Ltd
We promote the campaign for equality in all walks of life within the wider LGBTQ community in Ireland. Dublin LGBTQ Pride has three core values which it aims to promote through the festival:
1. Celebrating Diversity - Not only to tolerate, but to accept and celebrate diversity with the understanding that it is our differences which make us extraordinary.
2. Inclusiveness - To seek out those who are on the fringes and to take practical, concrete steps to ensure their inclusion in society.
3. Increased Visibility & Mutual Respect - To increase the visibility of the Dublin LGBTQ community within the wider Dublin, Irish and global community while communicating the message of mutual respect; to appreciate others for what they are, for how they are different and to respect them for such.
