Kelis will be taking to the stage of the George on the 23rd of June as part of the pride celebrations being held by The George, which is the Official Pride Club of 2011.

This theme of this years Pride Dyke Night is The Speakeasy, so expect all things 1920s! Hosted by the ever amazing Phil T. Gorgeous, this is set to be an unmissable night!

You may remember that quite some time ago, there was a lot of talking about Uganda. A private member’s bill had been introduced to legislate for the death penalty when people are convicted of several crimes associated with homosexuality. For a basic rundown on what the consequences could be, including executing people who know of [...]

As the AMI team put the finishing touches on what looks set to be the gay event of the year, we at Gaelick thought we’d give our readers an in-depth look at what to expect from the night!

I was watching the Rachel Maddow show podcast the other day and I was struck by something she said. “I am definitely gay.” It was the way she said it. No shame. No lowering her voice. She was most definitely not apologising or trying to explain it away. In fact, she seemed damned proud of [...]

Hot on the heels of October’s European court ruling that the ban on gay rights parades in Moscow violated the freedom of assembly, right to effective remedy and protections against discrimination, Moscow’s new mayor has put a stop to a planned parade in Lubyanka Square. The Russian LGBT Network planned to demonstrate in support of [...]

There remain countries in the world where LGBT people are criminalised for who we are, and in six of these the penalties include execution. When LGBTs flee such countries to seek asylum, will we get protection? How does Ireland treat asylum seekers who fear persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender identity? How many LGBT asylum seekers have been deported to unsafe countries where they may face torture, death or other forms of serious harm?

There are various kinds of comments whirling around the LGBT interwebs about a recent vote in the United Nations. Many of them boil down to making an assertion along the lines of: “The UN says it’s okay to kill gays!” So, what are the rumours, and what are the facts?

Linc (Lesbians In Cork) is pleased to announce its new Wednesday evening group, Phoenix, for women aged up to 23. If you’re young, interested in all things LGBT and in the Cork area, this one’s for you.

The final episode of Lip Service – the Beeb’s series featuring fictional Lesbians Of Scotland – airs tonight: Tuesday, 16th November 2010 at 10:30pm. Members of Gaelick will be following, tweeting, commenting, opining and (more than likely) gasping at the Sapphic thrills and spills. So, join us!

Acting Out is the Dublin LGBT drama group for LGBT every Thursday at Outhouse. Catch “OutTakes” this week!

Last night saw the second annual Cork Rebel Awards. The Awards were established as a non profit collaboration between the Cork Gay Project, Cork Pride, GayCork.com and L.inC to give recognition to members of Cork’s LGBT community.

Tomorrow, 13th November, a new shop is due to open in Dublin. Ordinarily not too remarkable. But this particular retailer is a little more interesting than that. Forever 21 is a USA-based retailer that sells cheap, slutty trendy clothes to the young folk. It also sells a lot more.

So, Cat McKenzie. You say you love Sam Murray. But do you? Do you?! The dilemma: Sam or Frankie. Much like: strawberries or a plate of vomit. Or: jazz tootlings or Justin Beiber. Or: a hot cop or a feckin’ feck-up.

Custody battles must be a total nightmare. You are fighting for your kids after all, I can’t imagine how that must feel. However, sometimes people need to be less naive to start out with, especially when the family is an alternative one.

Take your seats, lesbians and gays, for Outlook – the LGBT programme of this week’s Cork Film Festival.
