Causeway Pride is entering its 4th year and in a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are under renewed attack, our very existence is an act of resistance. We are a small Pride on the north coast, but we are unapologetically political. We are here to honour Mark Ashton’s legacy... Solidarity and standing with our community no matter the cost. We are here to make the Causeway Coast (and one day all of Northern Ireland) a place where everyone belongs. And we are here to fight back against politicians who have failed us, abandoned us, and continue to side with those who want to erase us. Let’s be clear: LGBTQIA+ rights were never handed to us. They were fought for. They are still being fought for. And we refuse to let them be taken quietly
Every Causeway Pride event is free deliberately. Pride is not a product. Our community is not a marketing opportunity. Rainbow capitalism might thrive elsewhere, but it will never define Pride on the Causeway Coast. But resistance has a cost. As we grow, so do the practical realities: a longer parade route, accessible and powerful sound systems, stewarding, safety, and the ability to organise radical, community-focused events beyond a single day in the calendar. Our ethics are non-negotiable. We do not accept funding from corporations, the local council, or anything linked to fossil fuels. That choice is ours and we stand by it. Our Pride is accountable to the community, not to profit or PR.
In previous years, Causeway Pride has been built by: • committee members funding it from our own pockets • trade unions showing real solidarity • members of the public who believe in queer liberation • and a proudly queer-supporting pub Now, as we build Causeway Pride 2026, we’re asking for solidarity once again. If you can donate, you are directly supporting a Pride that is community-led, anti-corporate, and rooted in collective resistance. You are helping us take up space, make noise, and remind everyone that we are not going anywhere. We are STILL HERE. STILL PROUD.

Why is Peter Mandelson still allowed to sit in the House of Lords?
He needs to be placed under police investigation due to his close links with Epstein.

Certain Political Parties here in NI are pushing a petition to stop the planned blocker trials, and Unsurprisingly are also pushing misinformation, so heres a little reminder of the FACTS about puberty blockers

TLDR....
TransLucent's Freedom of Information investigations across 382 public bodies, covering a period of over three years, found only four complaints (not attacks or assaults but simply complaints) about trans women using single-sex spaces 1/2
We have noticed various comments on the articles shared by local media about our continued ban on political parties and would like to take a moment to address some of them... 1. Trans Agenda: To us Every letter of LGBTQIA is just as important as the others and if you actually read the article you'd find that the puberty blocker ban is only one part of this, and even if it was lifted tomorrow the political parties would still be banned, the entire LGBTQIA community has repeatedly been failed by Stormont and things have to change. Furthermore if you actually do your research you will find there is no evidence of harm caused by puberty blockers, there is a risk of bone density issues with long term use, but they arent used long term and the risks are thoroughly explained before hand so that an informed decision can be made. It is worth noting they are still used for a number of other issues including precocious puberty which means giving them to much younger children for longer periods of time but you don't seem to have an issue with that??? 2.Rainbow project: we obviously have a relationship with them but they are not involved in planning pride or funding it. They also dont recieve any funding from stormont so we are unsure how exactly you plan to defund them and while the various Prides communicate with each other there is no overall body running them. 3.PSNI: while the police do their job of closing roads etc for parades they do not take part in any Prides in Northern Ireland, and why do you find it acceptable to ban them but not political parties?? 4. This ban is for parties NOT individuals! Any mla/mp/counsellors are more than welcome to take part as private citizens, the fact that the majority chose not to last year is evidence that it was just a photo op, however we have noted who still turned up and it was very much appreciated.
