PARTING SHOT

In a weekend which saw gay pride parades take place across the world in cities like Belfast and, Brighton and Vancouver, our own Cork also hosted its own festivities. 

Organisers say it is the biggest pride parade to take place in the rebel county with up to 15,000 people in attendance. 

The theme of the parade was Stonewall: 50 Years Proud, marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York, which sparked the gay pride movement.
