In June 2024, Trinity celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride! Pride at Trinity is a keystone of the campus calendar - an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ 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 20th to 29th June and is celebrating 50 years of pride protest marches.
Pride at Trinity is a collaborative effort between different groups on campus including:
- Q Soc - Trinity's LGBTQ+ student society (and the oldest in the country!)
- Trinity's LGBT+ Staff Network
- Campus student services who promote and participate in pride celebrations, including the EDI Office, Trinity Global, and the Office of the Provost
The 2024 Pride at Trinity calendar included:
- A Trinity contingent at the Dublin Pride parade
- The Annual Provost's Pride Celebration in the Provost's Garden
- An inaugural LGBTQ+ History Tour offered by our colleagues at Trinity Trails
- A display of LGBTQ+ literature organised by the Trinity Library
The EDI Office is delighted to support our LGBTQIA+ students, friends, and colleagues at Trinity - looking forward to next year already!
