WATCH: A lighter moment in the Seanad as @SenDavidNorris recalls the first Gay Pride march in Dublin in 1974. He was speaking as the Seanad and Dáil supported a Labour motion on the 25th anniversary of the repeal of laws on homosexuality. *contains strong language* pic.twitter.com/dhSAFEwEDb

In the Dáil chamber on the 25th anniversary of decriminalisation, hugely moved to hear @campaign An Taoiseach offer state apology to all men convicted of consensual sexual offences and the shame and exclusion that followed from those unnecessary and cruel prosecutions.

The window of Daintree Paper on Camden Street, Dublin 2

Zita Spring writes:

Just wanted to throw some love in the direction of Daintree Paper on Camden St, now under new management.

Former owner […] Paul Barnes generated negative publicity for Daintree last year because he refused to sell “any merchandise that promotes same-sex marriage” because of his Catholic beliefs. Barnes announced that he was selling the business a few months after that.

Now under new management, Daintree posted these pictures to their FB page this evening. The sample invites in the window display are for same-sex civil partnership ceremonies. Nice. I’m not affiliated with the shop, just really pleased to see this!

From Amnesty International (NZ):

Last week, activists in Uganda held their first Gay Pride. In a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, this was incredibly brave, and is a huge step forward for human rights.
