DONAL OG CACK'S RELATNSHIP WH BOYIEND NATHAN ADAMS, G OUT AS GAY AND CORK HURLG REER

CK John Roche, now I am not sure, how you know the ual thg but he is ad, I am not sure about his fay they, the problem when people die, like the same wh Flynn, Foley, Flynn and n’t remember his first name, Flynn Fairview Park, when he was beaten to ath his fay objected to , sayg that he was cisg that he was gay, fact, what we did is said, well look even if he is not gay, that is exactly the pot, that fact even straight people are risked by homophobia and batterg. Now I suppose I should say that to me this is somethg I haven’t really talked about before I have, talked to a uple of people personally about is, many s I say to people I have been very lucky, like for stance Lawrence Davis, I hope he don’t md, I am sure he won’t md me mentn , he is kd of the chair of the LGBT staff work here UCC, he is om Ameri, but he is livg Dubl and he is mutg up and down but Lawrence and I were talkg about vlence agast gays, bee I was sayg, we were somewhere y, we were walkg through, and the day of the referendum unt, Lawrence was Cork and we were walkg om the unt centre to get somethg to eat, about four or clock the afternoon, you know the unt was g , the unt centre people were stg and cheerg, I said to Lawrence this is gog on much longer but I am gog to need some food, I am gog to go out and get some, and he said well I will go wh you bee we will e back you know, we me back for six o clock news but on the way to get food, we passed by the Gate cema, and as we were crossg the road, Lawrence said lets go across the road here, and I said why?

And he said Cathal my whole life has changed, he said now, said before this happened, I walked around and I didn’t even thk about safety, I jt assumed I was safe everywhere I went, I didn’t even look around me, I jt, now he said, I am terrified of even gog to a gay bar whout lookg around, are there, are there bashers, you know lookg for clients there, lookg for potential targets, you know bee they will follow you out of the bar and then beat you up, he said look I am terrified, my sense of safety, I n’t relax at all, they have stroyed my very livg day to day every mute, now Lawrence wasn’t as bad obvly but was aga, if you were beaten up, I said, I was sayg to him I haven’t had that experience but then, of urse, I end up sayg to him, tellg him I thk about an experience I did have which was Cork. I had lunch at work, bee that was kd of thg, I went straight to town went to the bar or whatever, I went to a bar had a few drks, had a few more drks, went to, was probably Le Chatex I thk at the time, or possibly the Imperial or maybe both bee there was a kd of, kd of a trail that you uld do as well, you know the way gay people, you want to, one bar would be jt so borg, would be much more fun, particularly for the kd of ciss. And jt he started shoutg what is gog on over there, ye don’t like this or somethg or what and my iend ran, and then I was left there, they me over to me, and so I was talkg Dutch to them and persuadg them and tryg got out of by talkg so I thk yeah I mean I feel very strongly that if you know, if you talk about that is why when you look at the Fairview march as I said, this guy has jt done his this on, on gays agast imperialism and that all whole gay llective thg.

We turned the Fairview march on, and the ont banner said stop vlence agast gay’s and women, and we need to. Gay Cork hurlg goalkeeper Donal Óg Cack has been cricized by opponents Kilkenny prr to tomorrow’s All Ireland hurlg semi-fal between Kilkenny and Cork.
