GCN
Welcome to the LGBTQ+ Community Guide...
...an information resource on support groups, organisations, sports clubs and social and cultural groups across Ireland.
Pride History
The Importance of Pride
2023 and 2024 mark a series of milestone anniversaries in the history of Pride and LGBTQ+ activism in Ireland.
ARTS & CULTURE
All about Advocacy
Nothing unites a community quite like pushing for a worthy cause, and, in Ireland, plenty of LGBTQ+ advocacy groups do exactly that. With grassroots organisations, local branches of global groups, and larger organisations, Ireland is home to a thriving activism scene. Sarah McKenna Barry looks up and down the country to find groups dedicated to enshrining the rights of our LGBTQ+ community.
BOOKS
Here to Help
Whether you’re in need of support, or looking to get involved with a worthy cause, be sure to check out the wide range of organisations serving LGBTQ+ folk here in Ireland. Joe Drennan highlights groups dotted all around the country and staffed by remarkable individuals who are committed to improving the lives of the queer community.
COMMUNITY
Seen and Heard
All young people deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. Youth support organisations exist for exactly those reasons - to advocate for LGBTQ+ youth so they can grow and thrive. Nicole Lee highlights groups that provide support, education, and social spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and their friends to relax and connect in safe environments both in real life and online.
Team Players
Traditionally, sports, both at a local level and professionally, have been less than accommodating spaces for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Thankfully, there are numerous sports groups across Ireland (and beyond)reversing that trend and catering specifically to the LGBTQ+ community. Ethan Moser highlights a handful to encourage you to get out there and find a team that supports you and suits your interests.

Out & About
When it comes to craic and culture, Ireland’s reputation precedes it. We’re a nation of poets, artists, musicians and writers, and it’s certainly no secret that we know how to have a good time. It’s therefore no surprise that Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community boasts a thriving social scene, as well as a rich cultural tapestry. Sarah McKenna Barry gives a taster of what’s available.
