Awards Season

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, again. Why? Because this is the month in which we celebrate everything that’s great and good about Ireland’s LGBT+ community with the annual GALAS awards. This year, for the second time running, the ceremony will take place at Dublin’s Mansion House, and as usual we’ll be honouring LGBT+ people and organisations for their great contributions to Irish society, while also awarding politicians, employers and other folk who are committed to advancing equality and social acceptance for LGBT+ people in Ireland.

The GALAS International Award, which gives a bursary of €2,000 to persons fighting for LGBT+ rights in countries that seriously discriminate against LGBT’s, will also be among the 18 awards handed out on the night.

Over the past eight years, The GALAS has grown to become a key event on the Irish calendar, with fabulous L, G, Bs and Ts travelling from across the country in their finery, to have the time of their lives. The tickets sell like hotcakes, so make sure you get yours way in advance.

The Eighth Annual GALAS LGBT+ Awards, Saturday October 21, the Mansion House Dublin, 7.30pm, tickets available from eventbrite.ie
