shOUT!

Yes, you heard us, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of healthy eating!  Saturday we’ll be exploring a local grocery store with a qualified nutritionist who will accompany you through the aisles of the supermarket giving you the opportunity to get free advice about your food shopping.   We’ll learn how to read those tricky food labels and understand just how much sugar is in that cereal you have for brekkie every morning.  Spaces are limited, so please text if you fancy joining us!  Hope to see you there.

Ever fancied dressing up as a drag queen or king?  We certainly saw a lot of them this summer in the pride parades.  Join us on Saturday for a drag workshop, with special guest Lola Luscious to give us tips on how to do drag in style!!!  And, if dressing up in drag isn’t on your life bucket list, that’s okay too!  Join us anyway, we’ll be havin the craic!

Hey all!  We have a workshop with the Samaritans planned for Saturday.  And…as the new youth cafe opening party happens to fall on the same day, we’re also gonna take a stroll down to the party and celebrate the opening of the new cafe!  Hope you can join us!

The LGBT Parenthood Survey is seeking to identify the experiences and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) parents and those planning to be parents in Ireland. This is the first time that a study of this nature has been carried out in Ireland and our aim is to build up a picture of these experiences so that we can inform service provision and policy changes for LGBT parents and those planning to be parents.

Click Here to go take the survey: http://www.lgbtdiversity.com/parenthood_survey_2011.aspx

We will be holding meetings for parents/guardians of LGBT people.  The first meeting will be on Monday, the 19^th of September at 7pm in Youth Work Ireland, Galway, 41-43 Prospect Hill, Galway.  We will have a facilitator work with the group, and it will provide opportunities for parents/guardians to support each other and discuss common issues or feelings that might arise.  The first meeting will be more of a discussion of what the needs are of parents/guardians and how they can be facilitated.

Calling all 16- 21 year olds who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Questioning!

We would like to hear about your experiences of messages that “It’s ok to be gay”. We know that some young people hear and see messages that it’s absolutely ok to be gay, and others don’t, and we would like to know more in order to better support other young people growing up.

Have you got 20 minutes to complete a survey?…

Kevin Keller, the first gay character to live in Riverdale—a fictional town inhabited by popular comic-book characters Archie, Jughead, Betty and others—is getting a comic book of his very own. “He’s proven to be incredibly popular,” said Jon Goldwater, co-chief executive of Archie Comics. “We’re just so proud of the success of Kevin and the fact that he adds a new dynamic to Riverdale.” Kevin Keller No. 1 will hit newsstands in February.
