From the campaigns of the 1990s to today's fight for equality, Michael Barron has been at the heart of Ireland's LGBTQ+ movement for over 25 years. Great discussion on human rights, activism, and his book How Ireland's LGBTQ+ Movement Was Built. 🌈

To mark Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, we asked people from every Member State to say an Irish phrase that captures who we are, in their own language. Ní neart go cur le chéile. Strength with unity. One phrase. One Europe.
