Here’s the events taking place during Digital Dublin Pride from Thursday

Although the official Dublin Pride 2020 was cancelled in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, online events will take place from June 18th until June 28th to celebrate the LGBTQ community.

Dublin Pride have listed different events taking place online throughout Pride week, including quizzes, performances, a wigs and wine night, and a live interactive digital parade.

The parade will take place at 2pm on the 28th of June and will be hosted by Paul Ryder and Eddie McGuinness.

According to organisers, last years parade saw over 60,000 people take to the streets to celebrate Pride.

This year, people are being asked to celebrate at home and to share photos, messages and videos online using #VirtualPrideParade.

It has been five years since Ireland passed the same-sex marriage referendum, becoming the first state in the world to legalise same-sex marriage through popular vote.

Organisers say that although everyone can’t come together on the streets, we’re still in this together.

“Buildings will still light up for Pride, flags will be flying high across the city and our community will still be there to support each other. Pride isn’t cancelled, we’re just bringing it home.”

Here are some of the events set to take place:

Friday, June 19th: Pride Friday Night at the Movies

From 7:30pm, Dublin Pride will be hosting an LGBT+ movie night suitable for all ages followed by a chat about the movie. This will be taking place on the official site and more information can be found here.
