The show will focus on the Irish LGBTQ community post referendum, from initial reactions of the decision, to experiences of life as an LGBTQ person pre and post referendum, with stories of pre-legality of homosexuality in Ireland, as well as the hopes for the movement in the future, also encompassing the health, sport and social as well as support and outreach groups providing services around Ireland to some of the most marginalised aspects of the community. In episode 2, we follow Lisa Connell of GCN (Gay Community News), on how it was founded, the need for a publication in Ireland historically, how to balance the cultural with the political, and the future of the magazine in the digital world.

Finally we follow, Jack O'Rourke, the Cork born Singer Songwriter, on how his status as a Gay man, has influenced his lyrics, content, how its shaped his character, and how its become part of his legacy through his involvement with Amnesty International for the Referendum.
