And the state shouldn’t be allowed have representatives there for numerous other reasons (such as the state of trans healthcare) also. Pride should still be protest.
Assless chaps only.
No gays in uniform seems like they are desperate to discriminate
Bit ironic that the organisers of Pride are limiting Pride.
So the entire defence forces are tarred by one man’s actions.
Now if I was to tar the entire lgbtq community because of the actions of one or two of their community would that be OK too?
Stupid over reaction tbh
I would have thought they would want people in uniform to show their support. Reasoning seems flawed honestly.
Not very inclusive is it
I dislike how the far left and feminist groups have latched onto this unfortunate event and turned it into one big “misogynistic” and “us versus them” merry-go-round.
Let’s get the facts.
42% of the judiciary are women in Ireland. That’s almost half the headcount! If you said 80-20 or lower in favour of men I’d be inclined to agree.
The same judge that handed Cathal Grotty a suspended sentence gave a similar sentence to a man who bet a homeless **man** to a pulp 2 days before this verdict.
The post above this in this subreddit links another story from the Irish Independent about another man being denied bail for a similar crime.
There is a level of inconsistency in sentencing across the board.
Labelling certain recent events depending on the assailant or victim and turning it into one big “us versus them” undermines the core problems, inconsistency and incompetence across the board. Sweeps it all under the rug.
Is it misogyny when Kyle Hayes can walk free “cause he plays County Hurling” but Joe Bloggs (a male) gets thrown in the slammer for the same crime?
Misogyny is having empty male prisons and overflowing female prisons.
Misogyny is not giving dodgy box providers (who are generally all men) longer sentences than more heinous crimes.
Misogyny is letting **ALL** murderers, rapists and child predators get away with what they did. The prisons are full of the cunts.
This is not the way to go about it lads, surely. There’s dick heads in the defence forces. Deal with the dick heads and make it decent. Don’t divide everyone
Do Guards as well.
Pride is suppose to be inclusive, this is stupid, Ive attended one before just not my cup of tea, ( support LGBT) but can’t just rescind the welcome card because of a few individuals.
That’s spectacularly bad form. Banning and tarnishing a huge group of people because of what they do for a living is discrimination. Are they going to ban all members of the law society because of Judge O’Donnells actions too?
Those asshat organizors are not doing any favors to the cause
I’ll just remind folks that uniforms are not actually part of your intrinsic identity. They are, in fact, clothes, supplied or approved by your employer or association. So thinking it’s some gotcha to equate it to orientation looks fucking daft.
I’ve been asked repeatedly by my employer to rep them at Pride, and declined. It’s just not appropriate. Pride has an even more complicated relationship with uniformed state representatives, and it is not the business of straight people to tell us how to negotiate it.
Crotty’s little buddies are very likely still serving btw.
Jumping on the media merrygoround.
Very unfair on LGBT members of the Defence Forces.
IRFU were huge supporters and had many attend and the next year they werent invited/banned in official capacity because their rules and regs didnt line up with the values of lqbt group. Something to do with trans issues I believe.
Shooting themselves in the foot me thinks.
justice system is broken
remember that young girl that ran a car through 4 people outside the limerick milk market in january, lets see what sentence she gets
justice system is broken
remember that incident in january, that young girl ran her car through 4 people after a niteclub by the mil market. Lets see what sentence she gets. I suspect, banned from driving and also a suspended sentence.
Pissy pride organisers getting above their stations by being complete bitches excluding people based on NOTHING. The fucking irony
You’re not allowed to be a member of the defence forces if you have a political affiliation, never mind attend an event.
Having said that, you’d be some gobshite to turn up to pride in a uniform after this.
A weird response. A bit of an irrational response. Couple of assholes and they believe the defense forces they’d rely on in a national crisis should be shunned?
Its a problem granted. But this is an idiotic response to a serious issue. Its like those dopes who defaced stone henge in the name of “climate change”. The action is incoherent with the issue. Attention seeking virtue signaling and nothing else. What they should have done was say their presence would be conditional upon seeing the institution commence reforms, inquiry & action against jackarses disgracing their uniform. Not this knee jerk rubbish

Horse manure – punish the many for the sins of an individual , classy Lim Pride, the stupid is large in this committee ….

Why would they be going in uniform?
Correct decision.
And the state shouldn’t be allowed have representatives there for numerous other reasons (such as the state of trans healthcare) also. Pride should still be protest.
