Photo Description The border is of pink, purple and blue clouds. There is a large white square covering the majority of the graphic, it is within this white square that the graphics and text is included.  On the top, in the centre is the Bi+ Ireland logo, that being the words “Bi+ Ireland” written in pink to purple to blue gradient with a galaxy texture. To the right of the Bi+ Ireland logo is a pink brush stroke with the word “community” within, a purple brush stroke with the word “advocacy” within and a blue brush stroke with the word “support”.   In the centre of the picture is a rainbow coloured heart with the words “Pride 2020” written inside. Beneath this is the words “Find us, support us, join us”. Beneath this is the Facebook logo with the following words beside it “Bi Ireland Page, Bi+ Ireland Community”. Beneath this is the Twitter logo with the following words beside it “@IrlBi”. Beside this is an email logo with the following words beside it “biirelandnetwork@gmail.com”. Beneath this is the Bi+ Ireland logo with the following words beside it “www.biireland.com”  Either side of the graphic is different people holding flags including the polysexual flag, a bisexual flag, a pansexual flag, a polysexual flag with a trans heart, a pansexual flag with a non binary heart and a bi+ flag with a asexual heart.


Pride 2020 may be very different but in Bi+ Ireland we still here for our members and we want to make sure that the Pride season is still a means of connection for our members, old and new. 


Quick summary of things we are doing for Pride 2020 before we expand out our thoughts:
  • Online Quiz on 26th June
  • Looking for submissions for a Bi+ Pride video
  • Online shop open (with FREE Bi+ Enough cards available)
  • Taking part in different virtual Prides across the country
  • Continuing conversations with members via our Facebook group and Discord server.

Now for the extended version:
So what are our plans? Well our plans are still being worked on regularly over in the volunteer hub. We are so aware that Pride in Ireland spreads right across the summer months from late June to the very end of August, when we jump into Bi+ Visibility at the end of September. These 4 months are by far the busiest in the Bi+ Ireland calendar as we engage with the community group online, receive the most new members compared to the rest of the year, engage in outreach and education and host some events. While these are tasks we do all year round, there is a natural increase during June to Sept.

But what about the plans we can share? Well….

Quiz
Bi+ Ireland will be hosting an online quiz to test your general trivia knowledge (and some LGBTQAI+ specific knowledge) on Friday 26th June at 6pm. There will be prizes to be won so be sure to sign up at https://forms.gle/6j2CwdJsHY5yBtr29 
For more details see http://www.biireland.com/news-and-events/sign-up-to-bi-ireland-pride-online-quiz 

Bi+ Pride Video
Bi+ Ireland will be compiling a Bi+ Pride video. We would love for you to submit photos, drawings, quotes, whatever you want to represent you this pride season. This will be a public video so please keep this in mind if you submit something. Please be conscious of any identifiers. You can submit anonymously. Please submit your work through the following form: https://forms.gle/5tbsMnymVv42JH6b8 

Shop
Our online shop is open with badges and more to order. You can also order a free bi+enough card. To mark Pride 2020, you can get the card with no postage cost. This is achieved thanks to the generosity of our members.
To visit our store see https://shop.biireland.com/collections 
For the bi+ enough card see https://shop.biireland.com/collections/and-even-more/products/bi-card 
Please note: All products are shipped from a smoke free home. There is a dog in the home but a lot of effort is made to try to minimise the risk of dog hair being on any product or envelope. Please be aware that this shop is run by a volunteer. All efforts will be made to do a weekly shipping of sales every Tuesday, but some weeks it may be fortnightly. For example our shop volunteer will be sending off 2 weeks of orders tomorrow (19th June). 

Virtual Prides
There are many amazing virtual Prides happening across Ireland this year. We have already been in contact with a few to see where Bi+ Ireland could mark that Pride but we strongly encourage you all to support all the wonderful virtual Prides happening across Ireland. 

You can find Bi+ Ireland guide submission on page 69 of Dublin Pride Guide which you can see here https://dublinpride.ie/pride-guide/ 

We will be hosting a watch party for the Dublin Pride Parade both on zoom and in our facebook group www.biireland.com/news-and-events/zoom-watch-party-for-dublin-pride-parade

One of our volunteers, Jess Connor was interviewed by BeLonG To as part of their Pride programme. ​http://www.biireland.com/news-and-events/interviews-videos-by-bi-ireland-volunteers

We are so happy to see so many virtual prides happening that we compiled a list of those events that we are aware of.  You can see that list here https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3421009737922633&id=762500430440257 

Bi+ Ireland Members
As always we will be continuing to have conversations and facilitate a community space for adults that fall under the bi+ umbrella with a connection to Ireland. We currently have a close Facebook group “Bi+ Ireland Community” and a private Discord server. Please do contact us if you wish to join either. 

Finally
Thank you for your continued support of Bi+ Ireland and Happy Pride.
