Six years on from Belfast City Hall being illuminated in the Pride flag colours for the first time, we're happy to say that it's looks likely that the Pride flag will be flying from Belfast City Hall during Belfast Pride this year for the first time!
In a city where flags can divide, the Pride flag flying above City Hall at the centre of the city will be an important symbol of the progress that we want to see on Equality for all the citizens of Belfast.
Cllr. Mary Ellen Campbell's motion passed through committee today with cross party support and should now ratified at the Council meeting at the start of the month and this, coupled with our request to the Council to fly the flag should make this first for the city happen.
An original Gilbert Baker flag, made for the parade in New York to mark the 25th anniversary of Stonewall in 1994 and now owned by EuroPride, will lead the Belfast Pride parade this year to help us mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. We're looking forward to sharing this news with the EuroPride team when we host them in Belfast next weekend. It is fitting that the historical Gilbert Baker flag is met by another piece of history at Belfast City Hall during Belfast Pride this year.
