We present the annual youth issue of GCN, edited by 18 year-old Andrew Martin. With features about coming out, from both sides of the family perspective, growing up gay, student life in Ireland, a new queer identity and the rise of 16 year-old lesbian singer/songwriter Soak, it’s an issue not to be missed. Plus all the regulars – Conor Behan’s round-up of the current music scene, Ciara McGrattan’s acerbic take on movies coming your way, food, fashion, relationship advice and a special meeting between Shirley Temple Bar and gay fave comedian, Maeve Higgins!
