‘Transexual Equality Network Ireland and the University of Limerick join in a civil society campaign ‘Call It Out’ to highlight and address the harm caused by homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in Ireland. Despite recent positive changes for LGBT+ people in Ireland, many still live with a background of prejudiced behaviour, abuse and insults, simply because of who they are.
Stories of Allies is the social media leg of ‘Call It Out’ and it brings to life the stories of the LGBT+ community to show that anything from what people might think is harmless or funny to violent hate crimes are not acceptable. They not only affect the person subject to them but also affect the whole LGBT+ community because they share the same identity and it can therefore create a climate of fear.
