Last week

• Er. Clitter. Apparently.

• We brought you news of the Irish rugby team in this year’s Rugby World Cup, and introduced you to the team.

The tournament continues until 5th September.

The week before that

• In other sports news, we brought you some of the highlights from the Gay Games VIII in Cologne, where Team Ireland took home a huge haul of medals. We’re still counting!

• A suppa your favourite random gay-related news. Les-tastic.

• Here’s our review of Mother, the weekly club night which began earlier this summer, in support of GCN Forever.

• Lesbians. Bums. Bum coverings. It’s a perfectly legitimate poll question. Honest.

Before that again

• One of our newer writers here on Gaelick wrote about the sexism of the Road Safety Authority’s “He Drives, She Dies” campaign. Do you have any thoughts?

• There was random lesbian-esque news with sporty Irish woman, Derval O’Rourke and sporty Irish gays going to the Gay Games in Cologne; Claire Balding taking on A. A. Gill and The Sunday Times; and Darlene from Roseanne (aka Sara Gilbert).

• We brought you some more of everyone’s favourite Canadian pixies – because you can never have too much Tegan & Sara, eh?

• We asked that question every lesbian can answer: Who hasn’t dated a psycho?

• There were celebrations in California when the judge in Perry v Schwarzenegger ruled in favour of the plaintiffs, who were challenging the legitimacy of Proposition 8, the ban on marriage introduced by referendum in 2008. Marriage equality still proves elusive, however, while the case is being appealed.

And finally…

• AMACH! That’s the name of the recently formed LGBT organisation in Galway. They are also looking from feedback, so if you’re a Galway gay, do get in touch!

• Bunny’s Hutch continued in PantiBar, featuring faux queen fixture DialEmma in her return to the stage.

• We had our interview with Dublin musician, Leanne Harte. Keep an eye out for her, she’s one to watch!

• You have been warned: the Christians are organising. In fact, it’s already the case that the wingnut conservative Christians are highly organised – and financed. We need to get our asses in gear, people.

• Dublin’s new club night, Rock.Indie.Pop was reviewed after its second installment. And it seems it was a cracker. Keep an eye for the next one on 29th October!

• Mm… Joan Jett… She’s álainn… Or is she? You be the judge!
