About it all

My family are your basic 2 parents, 2 kids and a dog affair, with a slight twist in that my parents are a lesbian couple who have been together since the early 80’s. This being something quite rare in Ireland, we are occasionly called upon to tell our story. So it’s pretty normal for us to explain to people that we don’t know our fathers, call of them both mum and were never bullied for being the sons of a lesbian couple.

I’ve just finished a psychology degree in UCD and am anticipating studying for an MSc in Political Psychology in Queens University, Belfast, for 2010-2011. In my spare time, I’m a photographer, environmentalist and loudmouth for rights for the LGBT community. Currently what interests me most is highlighting the lack of provisions for children of same sex couples in the Civil Partnership Bill. Check out this post for one example of this.

I work for The Solis Trust doing IT stuff and also do some (voluntary) work for Positive Behaviour Ireland, a non-profit based in Dublin that’s focused on improving the lives of young people through education.
