Every year GCN publishes an issue which is completely dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth and every year it is an important contribution to the community. This year is no dif erent. I am delighted to have had the opportunity to be a part of this issue as I believe that it is more important now than ever to highlight the need for solidarity amongst queer youth.
We are living in a world where for the first time ever many young LGBTQ+ people can truly express themselves and fully explore their identities. This is a wonderful thing that deserves to be celebrated, however we are still trying to figure out what this new reality means for our community.

About GCN
In this special edition, our community's younger members take over for the annual Youth Issue. Our guest editor Emily profiles a group of young activists leading the charge for a new Ireland. We celebrate 15 years of the awesome BeLonG To, the national organisation supporting LGBTI+ youth while one of their subgroups, The LadyBirds, tackle the lack of awareness around women's sexuality and sexual health. A young asylum seeker in Direct Provision tells us of his struggles with homophobia while LGBT+ people in rural areas speak about the effects of isolation and how youth groups helped them find confidence. We top things off with a preview of the upcoming Science Of The Kiss exhibition, part of GCN's takeover of the Science Gallery. This is a good one!
