As Ireland pris self as a tolerant and equal society, how n we possibly rema silent if this persecutn of gay men ntu to be ployed by the state?
Firstly, I was ma aware by members of the Brazilian gay muny that the Brazilian gay men volved the Marks and Spencer toilets se were named and shamed cludg disclosure of their private addrs while “a married man wh children” was not named.
