On Wednesday, April 24, Gay Project celebrated 40 years of being a beacon of hope and empowerment for the Cork LGBTQ+ community.
The NGO was founded in 1984 by a group of queer activists dedicated to the support and advocacy of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with other men (gbMSM) and trans people.
Initially part of the Cork Gay and Lesbian Community Project, Gay Project represents a space of acceptance, all-inclusiveness, and headway for the queer community.An event was held in the Cork City Council Chambers to commemorate Gay Project’s accomplishments over the last 40 years.
Hosted by Lord Mayor Kieran McCarthy, it also saw the launch of the organisation’s Annual Report and Needs Analysis Findings for 2023.
