After eight years, a plan to install a stained glass window dedicated to Belfast's LGBTQ community in City Hall has been approved. The design and concept have been finalized, but details are not yet public. The project was initially proposed in 2017 and prioritized ahead of other proposals for windows honoring sports, the British Army, and the Fire Brigade Union.
A plan to install a stained glass window in Belfast ’s City Hall dedicated to the city’s LGBTQ community will come to fruition in the new year - eight years after being proposed at the council.
Other proposals made at the time included calls for stained glass windows dedicated to Belfast sport, the British Army’s Explosives Ordnance Disposal Company, and the Fire Brigade Union. The report states: “The client manager provided the working group with an update in respect of the design and concept for a new LGBTQ stained-glass window in Belfast City Hall. The working group was presented with an updated draft sketch of the stained glass window.
“During discussion, members of the working group stated they were content with the overall design and concept of the stained-glass window, however, suggested several minor amendments to the design. After discussion, the working group agreed, subject to minor amendments and refinements, to approve the design and concept of the new LGBTQ stained-glass window.”
Sinn Féin Councillor Ciaran Beattie thanked council staff and said: “I think it is seven years this has taken, and I know this wasn’t fault, as they were hard at work elsewhere. But it was a fairly quick process in the end.”
