Northern Ireland Conservative Future and LGBTory will be taking part in Belfast's pride march.

To mark this year's Belfast Pride Festival, Northern Ireland Conservative Future is hosting a discussion about LGBT involvement in politics. Is it easier to be openly gay and politically active today? What problems still exist? How do we bring about greater engagement? These are just some of the issues to be dealt with by our panel which includes: Cllr Andrew Muir, Mayor of North Down Jeffrey Dudgeon MBE, Northern Irish gay rights campaigner Colm Howard-Lloyd, Vice Chairman of LGBTory

From the London LGBT Community Pride website: "40 years since the first national conference for LGBT equality and with equal marriage in sight, 2013 is the perfect time for us to come together and celebrate the history and achievements of our community in London with a spectacular Parade through the heart of the Capital. Our theme this year is Love (and Marriage)." LGBTory will be flying the Conservative LGBT flag at this event so do please come along to walk with us in the parade!
