We need to bridge the gap between LGBT+ haves and have -nots
The past two issues of GCN have given me pause to think about the disparity of experience we have as LGBT+ people on this tiny island. Our youth issue last month, guest edited by the feisty and fabulous 18 year-old Emer Lorenzo, was an eye-opener in terms of young Irish LGBT+ people’s experiences. Part of that issue was the first Budding Burning Issues survey of LGBTs aged between 13 and 24, and its findings were in stark contrast to the image of acceptance and understanding that has abounded in Ireland since the marriage equality referendum.
