Northwest Pride
by Hayley Fox Roberts
Northwest Pride started with a dream. 2006, in rural Leitrim, I wake up shouting ‘Pride in the Northwest!’ With brass necks, years of activism including Dublin Pride behind us and love for this wild countryside, myself and Izzy Kamikaze kick-started a Pride that ran for ten years and built community for people from Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Mayo, and Donegal, and a welcome for all.
