"Foreword In 2015 we changed what it means to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) in Ireland with two historic steps - a resounding Yes in support of marriage equality by popular vote (and subsequent legislation) and the introduction of some of the most progressive Gender Recognition legislation in the world. Since then youth groups, schools, and other support services have witnessed a huge increase in the number of young people ‘coming out’ as they report a greater sense of being respected and protected by the State and a greater sense of acceptance and support from Irish people.
