Dablink For the Irish journal see GayCommunity News Dublin GayCommunity News was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992. It was an important resource for the LGBT community. GCN was proactive and reported a wide variety of Gay & Lesbian related news. Founded as a local newsletter early in the struggle for Gay and Lesbian Liberation, the journal was soon expanded into a major newspaper with an international readership. The journal saw itself as part an important vehicle for debating gay rights, feminism, antiracism, multiculturalism, class struggle, prisoners rights, AIDS, and other causes. The paper s political stance was reflected throughout its reporting. The journal often served as a place in which liberals and radicals in LGBT groups debated conflicting agendas. An article entitled Gay Revolutionary , published in 1987, led to claims from the conservative right that the journal promoted a homosexual agenda to destroy heterosexuality and traditional values. ref http rainbowallianceopenfaith.homestead.com GayAgenda.html Rainbow alliance, The Gay Agenda How The Conservative Religious Right Created a Lie ref References reflist External links http www.mywire.com pubs EncyclopediaOfLGBTHistory 2005 10 25 1129599?extID 10037&oliID 229 History of GayCommunity News Category LGBT related newspapers in the United States lgbt newspaper stub Massachusetts newspaper stub ... more details
for the Boston based journal GayCommunity News Boston Unreferenced date October 2008 Image GCN 1 cover 1988.jpg right 200px thumb GCN, Issue 1. Feb 1988. GayCommunity News , based in Dublin , is Ireland s longest running LGBT publication. First published on 10 February 1988 when Tonie Walsh and Catherine Glendon, both activists on the Dublin gay scene, decided it was time for Ireland s gay and lesbian population to have a free publication of their own. It has been published consistently each month, with one exception. GCN is owned and published by the National Lesbian and Gay Federation NLGF Ltd , which is a voluntary organisation. GCN was originally funded by the Irish state during the economically difficult 1980s and early 1990s, a combination of a policy driven scaling back of this funding and the improvement of Ireland s financial fortunes allowed it to become a commercial entity in 2003, although it still carries funding banners from the National Development Plan and Pobal . The editorial focus of GCN continues to be rights and community based. The magazine reports on political developments in Ireland and throughout the world, and is a key source of information for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexual people in Ireland, providing them with details of all community, cultural and social events and initiatives. It is also the only publication in Ireland with regular coverage of developments for HIV positive people. GCN also has regular celebrity interviews, lifestyle features, film, book and music reviews and social columnists. It has 33,000 readers and is distributed across Ireland, north and south. Brian Finnegan was appointed editor of GCN in March 2003.
