After an amazing tenure as Group Manager, Michael Brett shares his GCN journey and makes a call to support our national queer media.

Parting Shot GCN — Farewell — Not Goodbye

Stepping foot into the GCN office for the first time, I felt an electric energy. Typically, emotions range from excitement to trepidation on the first day of a job, but from the moment I entered GCN, I knew it was going to be an incredible place to work.

For now, my time with GCN is at an end. 18 months have flown by, and it’s been a blast. There have been highs and lows obviously, but mostly highs, and that was all down to the people. It’s the people at GCN and you, our readers, who have made this experience unforgettable. Your stories, words, photos and unwavering support are what define GCN. GCN has always been, and will always be, for the LGBTQ+ community, by the LGBTQ+ community - covering events and stories that you won’t see anywhere else, recording the changes in Irish society for future generations to reflect on, and discussing issues to make both the now and the future a better place for us all.
