Under the shadow of Ireland’s anti-gay laws, the National LGBT Federation (NXF) emerged in 1979 as a way to unite the queer community and campaign for social justice. Taking root in the legendary Hirschfeld Centre, the organisation has grown immensely over the last 40 years. They are also the publishers of GCN - Ireland’s national LGBT+ news magazine.

To commemorate their astounding victories for LGBT+ rights and social change, former and present chairs of the organisation were worthy recipients of the NXF40 Award.
