Sinn Féin was out in strength on Saturday 30th July proudly supporting Belfast Pride 2011. Ógra Shinn Féin activists and the Sinn Féin LGBT group were joined by Belfast Mayor Niall O’Donnghaile, DCAL Minister Caral Ni Chuilin, Gerry Kelly MLA and a host of Sinn Féin councillors to celebrate the biggest pride parade in Ireland.
Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson Cllr Pádraig Quinn said,
“Sinn Féin are proud to support Belfast Pride. It is an excellent week of events, and a brilliant cross community celebration of diversity. We fully support equality for the LGBT community and call for everyone to support future pride events organised throughout Ireland.”

Pádraig hit the nail on the head - this is an equal rights issue, all sections of the movement have a duty to support pride events like Dublin and Belfast, you only had to witness how well SF was recieved by the public at the Belfast parade when effort is put in. this is only the start!
