Proud at Pride 🌈 Listening to my daughter explain to my niece why Catalyst walks at Belfast Pride: “To show people someone cares about them, especially if they don’t always feel it. And to have a PARTY!” 🎉 Couldn’t have put it any better myself – in a world where 80% of LGBTQIA+ young people in NI have experienced suicidal thoughts and feelings, let’s show them that someone cares about them! 🏳️🌈 💛 🌈 #LoveYourMind #BelfastPride #SupportAndCelebrate #PrideMatters
