Obituary
Irish Gay Rights Movement co-founder Clem Clancy passes away
IGRM marked its 50th anniversary as Ireland’s oldest LGBTQ+ civil rights organisation.Not unlike many of his peers, Clem’s activism was seeded by membership of the Sexual Liberation Movement, a pansexual advocacy group established in Trinity College in late 1973.1974 is considered a significant foundational year for Irish queers. Ireland’s first symposium on homosexuality drew hundreds to TCD, followed by the first public protest on ‘Irish Gay Pride Day’, June 27.
