My story…. Open the zip of the invisible bubble that surrounds you and step out into your world. Asleep, alone, eyes closed in an empty world of nothingness. I talked. I cried. I laughed. But was I different? Fun and games, laughs and tears like everyone else. But I was different. Why me?

You’re doing great work and volunteering. Kindest from Roscommon. Your chat line will be a tremendous lifeline to many. God bless, be safe and take care

Coming from Achill Island to student life in Trinity was a very similar experience for me though in the late 70’s being gay wasn’t that easy in Dublin either. Thank god we’ve all moved on and grown up a lot as a nation.

I feel like so many Elders of the LGBTA community get forgotten and left behind, it warms my heart when stuff like this is shared, they deserve all the love and happiness.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Do you identify as LGBTQ+ and a minority faith, race, and/or ethnicity? Rachel, a researcher from the University of Limerick, is looking to interview LGBTQ+ minority faith, race, and/or ethnicity people to explore their experiences in Ireland. She hopes that her research will help Irish LGBTQ+ organisations improve their understanding and services for minority members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Contact Rachel at [email protected] or 089-7076028 to learn more. ... See MoreSee Less

On the last Tuesday of each month, we will be hosting an online book club, starting 26th January.

Because of libraries and bookshops being shut, we will be operating a bit differently to a regular book club. Instead of the group reading one book, we invite you to come along and discuss a book you've read, currently reading, or your favourite book! (No spoilers of course!)

Everyone is welcome no matter what type of books you read, print books, ebooks, audio books, graphic novels, they're all welcome here!

Come along and join us on the last Tuesday of each month on Zoom! ... See MoreSee Less
