On the poster for I Love You Phillip Morris, Carey looks camp and gay for laughs, but blame the distributors and don’t let it put you off. This is a complicated, layered film full of laughs but not at the expense of the love and heat between the guys. For a gay audience it’s such a huge relief.

LoveAction is a collective which is promoting equality for same-sex relationships, diverse families and young gay people. TONIGHT, make Love at War!

February 2010 sees LGBT History Month being celebrated for the first time in Ireland, at Tallaght County Library. There will be talks on LGBT literature and history, a screening of Gus Van Sant’s “Milk”, and an ongoing exhibition curated by Tonie Walsh of the Irish Queer Archive.

It’s that time of the year again, when most colleges go gay during their Rainbow Weeks or days. They serve to raise the visibility of LGBT students on college campuses, and thereby help LGBT students know that they’re not the “only gay in the village”. This is especially true for the smaller colleges throughout the country, where some students can genuinely feel that they are alone.

WAR is, without a doubt, the most mental night I have ever been to. WAR is described on the Spybar website as a “Friday night for people who love glitter, gold and glamour!” In my opinion, this is the understatement of the century. There seems to be no rules in WAR, and it’s certain that anything goes. People dance on the couches, the seats, the stage, the windowsills, the speakers and the mantelpieces.

The Dáil is to resume its debate on the Civil Partnership Bill 2009 this Wednesday, 27th January 2010. (It is scheduled to take place at some point between 11:29am and 1:30pm, although first to be debated in that time-slot will be two other bills.) A Live Blog has again been set up, and we hope to embed the stream to the live Oireachtas video to allow readers to follow the debate.

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the fantastic Sunday promotion in Pantibar, but just in case you haven’t, all drinks are half price (That’s right, HALF PRICE!!) which means that you can have an amazing night out and spend very little.

There are still plenty of people who are disappointed with the push for civil unions and same sex marriage. They see it as buying into a middle-class, religious, heterosexual ideal that really has nothing to do with gay people and how we live our lives.

Silly season is well and truly upon us now, so for anyone looking to head out and either dance or chill with their mates in between all the turkey eating and present giving, they will find something they want to do over the next week or so. And trust me, there’s bound to be at least one thing on here that’ll have you running for a train back to the big smoke.
