Cork Pride's 'Coming Out' event is a welcome space for anyone struggling with identity

In modern Ireland, 'There still are people out there who are struggling with their identities.'

Clive Davis, chair of Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival, looks forward to a day when everyone will feel pride in themselves and their community.

Across June and July, communities, companies, and individuals have been celebrating Pride in a myriad of ways. Pride celebrations for the Rebel County are taking place across Cork city until July 31, so there's still time to get involved this year if you haven't already.

One of the most popular events across Cork Pride's schedule is  'Welcome to the Community - Coming Out Event'. As the name suggests, this event offers any and all members of the LGBT+ community a chance to 'come out', or simply invite them into a welcoming, compassionate, and non judgemental environment. This year, the event takes place on Wednesday July 27 in the Clayton Hotel, penthouse suite. It is on from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm and all are welcome - no matter how they identify.
