Lovely afternoon at DCU, organised by our Pride+ staff network, hearing from alumni who played a central role in the historic campaign for marriage equality in Ireland, Dr Grainne Healy, Patrick Sweeney and Craig Dwyer 🏳️‍🌈

Happy marriage equality anniversary! What a proud day for Ireland, 22nd May 2015, when it became the first country to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote. We build on successes like these to keep working for full rights, protections and equality 🌈💜🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) for having us to speak about intimate partner violence in the LGBTQ+ community, as part of their gender-based violence conference yesterday!

Happy #TransDayofVisibility ! It's a day to celebrate the strength & vibrancy of the community, and to show solidarity. Data suggests trans people are at 2-3 times higher risk of partner violence. We need to work together to close health disparities like these & ensure all survivors are supported

Great to listen to Prof Catherine Donovan present this afternoon on the central role of identity abuse in understanding and addressing LGBTQ+ domestic violence. Thanks to Department of Sociology in Durham University for organising this informative research seminar! 👏

Delighted to attend the launch of DCU's brand new research institute for genders and sexualities today! We're looking forward to contributing to intersectional research on gender and sexuality in this space & collaborating with its many impressive and inspiring members
