Causeway Pride @causewaypride.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Please see our joint statement with @mams4transni.bsky.social

Today, Causeway Pride and Mams4TransNI stand in solidarity with the people of Garvaghy Road.

For decades, this community has lived with the consequences of the Drumcree dispute. Whatever someone's views on parading, tradition or identity, we cannot lose sight of the people who live there and the impact that these disputes have had on their homes, their families and their sense of safety.

We believe communities deserve to be listened to.
Not reduced to a legal argument.
Not expected to simply endure another cycle of confrontation while institutions struggle to find a lasting solution and play political chicken with one another.

Pride exists because marginalised communities have repeatedly had to say: listen to us. Our lives matter. Our voices matter. Our right to feel safe matters.

That principle goes beyond our LGBTQIA+ communities


Northern Ireland was promised a future beyond the conflicts of the past.
We owe EVERY community the chance to experience that future.

Today, our solidarity is with the people of Garvaghy Road.

We hear you.
We see you.
And we stand with your right to be heard, respected and safe.

Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest vocalists and performers of our times, was born on this day 80 years ago. He died aged 45. AIDS not only took our friends and lovers, it robbed us of a generation of artists and the beautiful, extraordinary work they may otherwise have given us.

jon ronson has written a book about men who go crazy online and he's dedicated an entire chapter to graham linehan. graham is not going to like the observer review.
Ronson’s account of Graham Linehan is another harrowing tale of a man’s life ruined by the internet. Linehan was a beloved comedy writer, co-creator of Father Ted, and a prolific presence on Twitter, where he was well liked and respected. Then, in 2013, something began to shift, when an episode of his sitcom The IT Crowd, first broadcast in 2008, was repeated. In it, a man discovers his girlfriend is transgender and a brawl breaks out between the two. Viewers did not like the display of violence nor the supposed implication that the trans woman was “really” a man, underlying maleness bursting forth uncontrollably once she is angry.

Linehan responded to criticism with polite bafflement, then defensiveness, and finally overt anger. He began to research transgender issues and developed a singular obsession with the topic, which has since gone on to comprehensively destroy his career and personal life. Linehan, who believes trans activism and indeed ordinary trans existence pose an existential threat to women, talks of little else (except, these days, a fervent pro-Israel stance). He tweets near-constantly, cloaking his obsession with supposed concern for the wellbeing of cisgender women, but he does not balk at aggressively insulting those women who disagree with him.Linehan’s self-ignited ruin stopped being satisfying for even his opponents to watch a while back, and now is only profoundly depressing. Ronson was once a good friend, but in refusing to endorse Linehan’s beliefs about transgender issues, he was added to his long list of his enemies. In The Castle, Ronson speaks to him directly, having been attacked countless times on Linehan’s social media feed. One thing that becomes clear, beyond the truly abject state of Linehan’s wellbeing, is that he is able to persevere with his campaign because he has convinced himself he is battling the greatest danger currently at play in the world. At one point he suggests that there are so many fewer serial killers nowadays because all the sociopaths have migrated to the internet in order to argue with him about trans issues instead. It reminded me of religious protesters screaming at me in Dublin once, as I walked into a reproductive-rights clinic that provided information about abortion. I was furious, but then forced myself to think about how I would feel or act if I truly, earnestly believed that every abortion is equivalent to the murder of a child. That might, indeed, drive me mad.

The Linehan chapter is brilliant: insightful, candid and moving. I’m still not convinced that any broader crisis of masculinity or male purpose had much to do with Linehan’s downfall, though. He wasn’t at a loss or empty of purpose when he began his campaign. He didn’t turn to vitriol because he didn’t have anything else to do. His case is, if anything, notable for involving a man with an enviable life and abundant success throwing it away for reasons that to many in the outside world may seem obscure or deranged.

A joint statement from @causewaypride.bsky.social and @mams4transni.bsky.social

Mike Nesbitt’s resignation letter lays bare something 
deeply disturbing.

Jon Burrows drew a “red line” over puberty blockers and opposition to Northern Ireland participating in the Pathways trial. Nesbitt admits that the trial was the price of securing the execs support.

Read that again...
The healthcare of trans young people became a political bargaining chip.

And when the Health Minister tried to act within his brief, he was apparently expected to fall in line with the Leader’s political agenda or fall on his sword.

This is not how healthcare should work.

Young people’s lives are not party policy. Clinical decisions should not be made to satisfy political “red lines”. And evidence-based healthcare should never be sacrificed to protect a politician’s ideological position.

Mike Nesbitt has resigned.
But the questions his letter raises remain.

Jon Burrows may have won his red line. Trans young people are the ones left standing on it.

We will not be silent while politicians turn our 
healthcare into a political battlefield.

Still here. Still proud. Still fighting.

What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority
Belfast Telegraph27 Jul 2026ALLISON MORRIS
I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements.

WRN NI was not a group I was familiar with beforehand, so I did some research.

No speakers were listed in the Féile programme for the planned event, which in itself is odd as there are for almost every other of the 90-plus debates and discussions.

The group has since announced who its speakers were to be in a series of online posts.

My research took me down quite the rabbit hole — a who’s who of the anti-trans movement not just on this island but Europe-wide.

I don’t pretend to understand their motivation.

In fact, I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group — which has spoken out about femicide before — is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide.

I have worked for decades covering violence against women and girls in all the distressing forms that takes.

I know the names of every woman and child murdered in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years without even having to look them up.

Not a single one was caused by a trans woman — I checked the list twice just to be sure.

None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle.

Apart from the absurdity of much of the group’s argument regarding the perceived dangers of trans women, the claim that women are being silenced by Féile is the most disingenuous of them all.

Our hearts are with everyone injured, everyone who witnessed this violence, and the family, friends and loved ones of the person who lost their life.

We know what it means to gather in the streets and feel both the joy of our community and the weight of everything we have had to fight against. We know that Pride is never just a party. It is our visibility. Our resistance. Our refusal to disappear.

To our siblings in Berlin: we are thinking of you, grieving with you and standing with you
