An opinion piece from the Evening Echo newspaper, dated July 28, 2017, titled "Yes-- we do still need Cork Pride in 2017!", and written by Orla Egan, an LGBT activist and founder of the Cork LGBT Archive. The article outlines why Cork Pride is still relevant in 2017. Egan talks about how there is still a lot of work to be done in relation to respect and safety for the LGBT community. She talks about the violence still faced by the community in Ireland and abroad, mentioning the murder of Declan Flynn in Dublin in the 90's. She details the effects that homophobic bullying still has in Irish schools and the inadequate support services for trans individuals. She concludes the article by outlining the ongoing importance of Pride celebrations.
