Clayton Bound!

It’s hard to believe it’s almost time for our eighth annual weddings issue, which will be on the shelves come September 21. We’re planning a very special one for this, our 30th year of GCN, with a feature about wedded gay and lesbian couples who met through the pages of this here publication. From 1990 on, until the Internet replaced them as a way to meet, GCN’s personal ads formed a lot of couples, and we want to hear from you if you’re one of them and got hitched. Drop the editor a line at editor@gcn.ie if you fit the bill, and we’ll get in touch!

Meanwhile, in case you’re planning your nuptials at this very moment, we thought we should tell you about the classy and chique Clayton Hotel in Sligo, which might be just the venue for you.
