Join the debate at and help us understand better our currant standing in the wider community. Unusually for me, I personally am not going to offer an opinion on this debate just yet but would like to see what YOU the public have to say. How does it feel to be gay in modern Newry? How far have attitudes evolved since 1967 (1993 in the republic)? How do gay and bisexual men and women view themselves today? What still needs to change? No one can logically deny that we as a whole community have come a long way in the last 40 or even 10 years but do old prejudices still exist? Will we ever have a completely equally treated society? With another Belfast pride parade just around the corner (28TH July- 4th Aug.) and local advances with the NRC and Passion becoming routine, I find myself asking the same questions as those posed by the film makers and the participants on the channel 4 website. I can tell you that as an openly out gay man, I have had some interesting conversations over the water cooler at work since the screening which proves to me that such programming was actively watched by a wide demographic.Ĭhannel 4 are quite admirably (From a gay perspective) using this anniversary to once again shine light on an otherwise largely ignored and tokenised area and have created a wider more open debate than we have ever seen before throughout the country.
#BELFAST GAY PRIDE T SHIRTS TV#
The channels season makes interesting viewing for many reasons as it explores how diverse and different our community have become and how differently we have been treated by society.įor me, the most interesting thing about a season like this (whether in your view it was acceptable prime time TV or not) is that it encourages people to talk and empowers those who fear or do not understand to question. Maybe surprisingly for some, only 14 years ago, the republic of Ireland followed.

He said the banner demonstrated support for same-sex marriage as well as "repudiating the legitimate opposition to such and offending those who hold to traditional marriage, including any such employees, who now have an alien alignment foisted upon them".As channel 4 have recently and quite royally pointed out to the nation, this year marks 40 years since the legalisation of homosexuality here and in the UK. Mr Allister said he had been contacted by "dismayed" constituents about the matter and he himself was "disappointed Sainsbury's has seen fit to enter the political arena by publicly promoting and embracing the cause of LGBT+ campaigners". "They rightly see it as an 'in your face’ endorsement of a lifestyle and political demands which conflict with their beliefs and consciences," he wrote. In a letter to the retailer and reported in this week's Ballymena Guardian and seen by the Belfast Telegraph, North Antrim MLA Allister said it caused "hurt and offence" to many who "hold to a Biblical view on these matters". It defended the banner saying it wanted to be "the most inclusive retailer where people love to shop and work". The supermarket displays a banner outside its Ballymena store stating it is proud to support the LGBT+ community. Retailer Sainsbury's said it was proud to wear the Pride colours after TUV leader Jim Allister hit out claiming a banner at one of its Northern Ireland stores "isolates Christians".
