Positive Pride
As part of Belfast Pride 2007 I took part in an exhibition of photographs entitled "Positive Pride" featuring gay men and women who are 'out' at work. The aim of the exhibition was to promote understanding and tolerance and show gay people in a positive light.

This event was sponsored by the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister plus the Equality Commission.
