Gay Community News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gay Community News, based in Dublin, is Ireland's longest-running LGBT publication. First published on February 10, 1988 when Tonie Walsh and Catherine Glendon, both activists on the Dublin gay scene, decided it was time for Ireland’s gay and lesbian population to have a free publication of their own. It has been published consistently each month, with one exception. GCN is owned and published by the National Lesbian and Gay Federation (NLGF Ltd), which is a voluntary organisation. GCN was originally funded by the Irish state during the economically difficult 1980s and early 1990s, a combination of a policy-driven scaling back of this funding and the improvement of Ireland's financial fortunes allowed it to become a commercial entity in 2003. GCN's online presence began in 2000.
