Welcome, dear reader, to our September issue of GCN celebrating the LGBT+ artists and queer creatives who are making vibrant and vital works that add to the culture and tell our diverse queer stories in dynamic and compelling ways.

In this Arts Issue we highlight some of the stunning shows the Dublin Fringe Festival will be bringing our way. As well as a round up of the best of the best, some of the creatives behind those shows speak - in a GCN first, we have a queer love poem to our national sport from Vickey Curtis, one half of the team behind GAA MAAD, we have a telling of a queer son’s emotional reconnection with his mother during her final days - Nine Weeks, and an enlightening conversation between Maia Nunes, creator of the extraordinary Incantation and Beth Hayden from Glitter HOLE (who will be throwing their own Púcaparty).
