Ógra Shinn Féin Proudly Support Derry Pride 2011

Ógra Shinn Féin were out on the streets of Derry on Saturday (27th August) supporting the second annual Foyle Pride parade. They were joined by Sinn Féin activists including Junior Minister Martina Anderson MLA, and Cllr Paul Fleming.

The thousands who marched in support of LGBT rights made their way from the Waterside Station to Guildhall Square, and were greeted along the way by cheers and rapturous applause from an enthusiastic crowd of shoppers and supporters.



Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson Joe Dunn said,

“Young republicans were proud to come out in support of LGBT rights today and the message went out loud and clear from the pride parade that Derry will stand up for equality and diversity. Equality is a cornerstone of Irish republicanism, and we will always lead the fight and stand shoulder to shoulder with all who work to achieve and uphold this basic human right.”
