We are mad and we are proud. We are proud to be different especially in this modern world which finds it difficult to celebrate uniqueness. It is now we are even more necessary than ever. We ask the wider community to be glad with us. We ask them to understand and support us. It is only then we will have a real community free from ‘them’ and ‘us’. It is only then we might find out that we are not so different after all and discover and celebrate our common madness together. To be mad is to be human.
Thank you MadPride Ireland for joining MadPride International in this important world wide movement which together with movements like Black Pride and Gay Pride will help to liberate us from prejudice and discrimination.
