Pride & Politics: Belfast’s Trailblazing Lord Mayor Micky Murray

Join us for the first stop on Day 2 of our Lost in Belfast Road Trip as we visit the magnificent City Hall to meet Lord Mayor Micky Murray.  The city’s youngest and first openly gay Lord Mayor shares refreshing new perspectives on his changing city, saying “Where Belfast is now and where we"re going is a lot more exciting than what"s happened over the last 50 years.” The Lord Mayor talks about his political journey, Alliance Party affiliation, priorities in office, LGBTQ+ community efforts, and favored social justice initiatives such as addressing homelessness through the innovative Complex Lives strategy. The conversation highlights his city"s growth, increasing diversity, and the exciting future he envisions for Belfast’s people. Given that the Lord Mayor serves just one year, every hour is precious, so we much appreciate the hour he spent with us…and now with you.
