<H2><a href="http://www.indymedia.ie/article/107134">[Dublin] Pride Alternative 2019 (QAI)</a></H2>
Dublin | Gender and Sexuality | By ipsc <h4>Event Time: Saturday, Jun 29 2019</h4>
<P>In solidarity with our friends in Queer Action Ireland, who have always invited IPSC to be part of their radical anti-pinkwashing bloc at Pride down the years, we are supporting their Pride Alternative action. QAI, for a myriad of reasons, feel they can no longer march in the official pride parade. </P><P>These reasons include the presence of, or sponsorship by, companies that are hostile to Palestinian rights or profit from Israel’s occupation and human rights abuses; companies like Airbnb, PayPal, AXA, Tesco and Bank of Ireland . It is also disconcerting that one of the parade’s “Pride Partners” is none other than the Israeli website company Wix, founded by a former member of the Israeli military’s Unit 8200, a unit that spies on and blackmails LGBTQ+ Palestinians.<br />

<br />
Queer Action Ireland are inviting all queers (and allies) who cannot accept the current state of Dublin Pride as a sanitised and assimilated event in direct opposition to the spirit of Stonewall, to join us for a Pride Alternative at 12pm on the Rosie Hackett Bridge, June 29th 2019.<br />
<br />
This grassroots organised event will be about listening to each other, highlighting our queer struggles, and working to draw attention to the issues that face our community today.<br />
<br />
Join us for speeches, bring your banners, and let’s recapture the spirit of Pride in all its glory.<br />
