A dozen gay women and men protested for three hours outside the British Embassy in Merrion Road, Dublin, on Saturday 20th February, in solidarity with British gay people rallying in Manchester at the same time against Clause 28.
The picket was organised by the National Gay Federation (NGF) and attended by supporters from outside Dublin. Senator David Norris was also among the protestors.
National newspapers, preoccupied with the Fianna F&il Ard-Fheis in nearby R.D.S., ignored the picket.
