The Rainbow Project, Cara Friend and Lesbian Advocacy Service Initiative, in partnership with The Equality Commission NI, have developed a travelling billboard which will be making its way across Northern Ireland to raise awareness of the prejudice non-straight people still face in this region.
Things have changed greatly over the past 15 years. The introduction of key legislation to protect people who are lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) within their jobs, homes and in accessing goods, facilities and services is welcome.
The recognition given to same sex relationships through Civil Partnerships has also played a part in ensuring the rights of LGB people and has removed another barrier to equality.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
