• GCN (Gay Community News). (National Lesbian and Gay Federation (Ireland))  . , since 1988. The voice of the LGBT+ community in Ireland. A registered charity in Ireland covering all topics for the LGBT+ community and giving a voice to all other LGBT+ organisations in Ireland. Typically monthly but occasionally less due to Covid and financial limitations. Winner of numerous awards in Irish publishing.
• Gay Star. (Northern Ireland Gay Rights Association)  Template:Catalog lookup link. Gay Star/update/upstart/Northern Gay were a family of publications covering a range of topics and uses. For example, Gay Star was mainly quarterly and normally ran as an A3 fold over with 24 to 28 pages, providing in depth articles, movie/book/theatre/music reviews, even sometimes poetry. It had some advertising of local events and venues, and also provided advice on medical issues such as AIDs and the Health Clinic location. The other magazines were in a number of formats, A4, A3 fold over and these were often used to get news quickly out to the community and warn them of some kind of possible issue in the gay community e.g. police sting operations, people being beaten up, a predator hunting gay people. A full set of these magazines is located in the Linenhall Library, 17 Donegall Square North Belfast, BT1 5GB, and listings of LGBTQ+ material can be searched on their website https://www.linenhall.com/. It should also be noted that these magazines started off as part of the Northern Ireland Gay Rights Association, but in later years were independent of the organisation, but still supporting the aims and objectives of NIGRA. The two main editors over time were Sean McGouran and Terry McFarlane. Sean is now retired and Terry runs his own website ACOMSDave as a community journalist https://acomsdave.com/
