Trinity celebrates LGBTIQ+ Pride! Pride at Trinity is a keystone of the campus calendar - an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTIQ+ people in our community and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring an inclusive, safe, and diverse environment where everyone can thrive.

Pride promotes the self-affirmation, dignity, visibility, and equity of the community of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other diverse gender and sexual identities. 

Trinity has a strong commitment to queer pride and protest traced back to the formation of the original gay advocacy group the Sexual Liberation Movement which started with a meeting on Trinity campus in 1973. 

The Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival runs from 24th to 28th June and with the theme of "ONE STORY – MANY VOICES - Your voice matters. Our story matters. Together, we create something none of us could hold alone."

LGBTIQ+ Pride at Trinity is a collaborative effort between different groups on campus including:

    This interactive session offers a welcoming space to deepen your understanding of diverse gender expression and identity.

    Whether new to this topic or looking to build on existing knowledge, participants will come away with practical insights to how create a more inclusive environment of belonging and actively support gender diversity.
