  • October 2009, Issue 238

    All aboard! It’s the annual Youth Issue and this time around we have guest editors from youth groups in Dublin and Dundalk in the driving seats. So what’s on the minds of the national yoof?

    Our cover stars get a total drag make-over from queen diva, Veda Beaux Reves. Meet the newly christened Toni G.spot and Tina Tight Arse!

    There are far too many negative messages around the gay community fighting for rights, says David Corr from Dundalk Outcomers Youth Group. Nowadays, if you're young and gay, the experience can be a very positive one.

    There comes a time in every gay boy or girl's life when they walk into a gay bar for the first time. Aodhan Gregory meets some young people and talks to them about how becoming part of the scene affected their lives, for both good and bad.

    How many Irish schools let young gay people bring same sex partners to their Debs? John Hearne has a thing or two to say about the lack of equality at the biggest social event on the school calendar.

    Plus! Shirley meets TV make-over queen Sonya Lennon, our resident chefs cook up a winter treat, Julian Clary minces back to Dublin and we go mad for Mad Men fashion!

  • GCN ISSUE 226: AUGUST 2009

    Writer director Paul Ward was pissed off about the complete lack of gay lead characters in Irish film, so he set out to remedy the situation. The result is a rom com based on Dublin's scene that's to be premiered at this year's GAZE Film Festival in Dublin's Light House cinema. 'It took a long time to get here,' he tells Brian Finnegan, 'but it was worth

    There is a lot of debate about whether it meets the needs of the gay community or whether the bill meets the needs of the gay community or whether it is discriminatory and creates second class marriage for same sex couples. Knowing what is actually in the bill will hopefully inform the discussion, says family law solicitor, Muriel Walls.

    A split between members of the 2008 Galway Pride committee has led to an unprecedented situation where two separate Pride marches, along with two separate rosters of events, will take place in the city on the same weekend this month. Brian Finnegan tries to get head around exactly what's been happening.

    Named after the Roman Emperor Caligula, Little Boots is a pop star with epic ambitions, but can she last in a world where pop stars come and go like ships in the night. Shane McNamara gets to the heart of her staying power.

    Plus: Pride in Dublin: Our top photos; author Jake Arnott bridges the gap between fact and fiction in his latest gay novel, and Ciara McGrattan gets up close and personal with Hercules and Love Affair founder, Andy Butler.

  • JULY 2009, ISSUE 235

    40 years after the Stonewall Riots ushered in the gay rights movement and annual Pride celebrations across the planet, Brian Finnegan questions whether the fable that Judy Garland's death sparked the whole thing off is rooted in the truth.

    Although Colm Tóibín's latest novel, Brooklyn, features little in the way of gay characters, it's deeply connected to the author's own sexual orientation, as Denis Kehoe finds out.

    With her film Identities, Vittoria Colonna set out tell an individual story about gender diversity in Ireland. But soon it turned into an exploration of the state of the trans nation, as Ciara McGrattan discovered.

    Lovers of bondage, S&M and other kinks are rarely portrayed as spiritually evolved, but Dossie Eaton, who is coming to Dublin for a special workshop, begs to differ. Conor O'Hara meets a woman with one foot in fetish, the other in tantra and a whole world of sexuality in between.

    Plus: Shirley Temple Bar shoots the breeze with Brian Dowling, Bourgeois and Maurice set Dublin Pride alight and Team Ireland gear up for the Second World Outgames in Copenhagen.
