GCN is the national LGBTQ+ press in Ireland, printing since 1988. This publication has witnessed seismic social change for LGBTQ+ lives, both at home and abroad, from that time to the current day. As a queer Irish media organisation, we stand proudly on the shoulders of LGBTQ+ giants who have blazed a trail for us to continue fighting the good fight. Our core aim is to educate and inform our community, to amplify all the amazing work being done within it. It is our honour and privilege to reflect queer life in Ireland.
Why #IrishSolidariT is fundamental to our vibrant community and continued activism
As you will see in the pages of this very magazine this month, there is a fabulous and exciting diversity of our community and much brilliant work and activism to report on. Sadly, echoing the larger societal lurch to the right, there is a small but vocal subsection who seek to separate our inclusive, diverse community, employing the oldest tricks in the Patriarchal playbook with a cry that Irish LGBTQ+ people know all too well across two formative referenda; “Won’t somebody please think of the children.”
