While the weather moved celebrations inside this year, spirits were not dampened as staff, students, family and friends gathered in the Public Theatre to celebrate Pride in Trinity. 

Guided by Dublin Pride’s theme, “One Story, Many Voices,” the event celebrated the diversity of experiences and the richness of Trinity's LGBTIQ+ community, reaffirming the values of Trinity’s strategic plan, where belonging is central to a thriving university. Speaking at the event, Linda said: “conversations and celebrations such as this are more important than ever in an increasingly divided world.”

The event featured a number of other speakers, including Co-Chairs of the Trinity LGBTIQ+ Staff Network, Joel McKeever and Evan Blake; Trinity’s Vice-President for Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Prof. Lorraine Leeson; and PozVibe Tribe podcast hosts, Enda McGrattan (a.k.a. Veda Lady), and Dr Robbie Lawlor. 

The evening concluded with a lively performance from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences choir.
