Michael D. Higgins on Pride Week
In this, my final year as President of Ireland, may I offer my warmest greetings to all those marking Pride 2025.
This annual celebration is a vital affirmation of the rights, dignity, and joy of our LGBT+ communities. It is a time, too, to remember with gratitude the courage of those who paved the way for progress when marching was not safe, who gave voice to truths that were long silenced, and who set the foundations for the inclusive Ireland that we continue to strive towards today.
In recent years, great strides have been made in advancing the rights and recognition of LGBT+ people in Ireland. In celebrating Pride this year, we are also marking the 10th anniversary of the Marriage Equality referendum, a moment that spoke of the kind of Ireland we aspire to be: inclusive, generous, an Ireland that is unafraid to affirm the equal worth of all of our citizens.
Yet, we must also acknowledge that the journey is not complete. A truly inclusive society is one where all can live authentically and creatively, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, where all can participate fully, and where all voices are not only heard but valued, in all their richness and diversity.
Pride remains a vital expression of that vision in challenging us to deepen our commitment to human rights, to solidarity, and to the kind of republic that cherishes all of its people equally.
In a time when hard-won rights are being questioned in many parts of the world, such vigilance and unity are more vital than ever.
As I reflect on my terms as President of Ireland, I have been continually inspired by the creativity, resilience, and generosity of spirit shown by Ireland’s LGBT+ community. In so many aspects of Irish life, including the arts, activism, education, community-building and public life, your rich and varied contributions have helped to enrich our society immeasurably, widening the circle of belonging for us all.
May I wish all those marking Pride 2025 the very best as you celebrate and embrace this remarkable festival of equality, respect, and love.
May this Pride be a time of joy, of solidarity, and of renewed hope as we work to craft a future together that is peaceful, just and inclusive – a future defined by equality and participation of all citizens across the world in all their wonderful diversity.
Traoslaím libh is gach beannacht lá is do’n todhchaí.
