About Gaelick
Gaelick is made up of a group of Irish people who talk too much. We're all friends who are sick of pretending to listen to eachother and basically just want an audience.
Ok, seriously, we're a group of mates who decided that we wanted an e-zine for Irish lesbians, and why wait and complain when we can do it ourselves?
We're a motely crew of creative types, media and political whores, bookworms, film fanatics, students and professionals all with one thing in common. We're gay/bi/whatever you're having yourself. So, enjoy, comment and come back! Remember we need an audience!

This and That
Lesbian rights activist Del Martin passes away aged 87
“Ever since I met Del 55 years ago, I could never imagine a day would come when she wouldn’t be by my side. I am so lucky to have known her, loved her, and been her partner in all things.

I am devastated, but I take some solace in knowing we were able to enjoy the ultimate rite of love and commitment before she passed.” - Phyllis Lyon
