    Sorry Tommy no gays in Kerry, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Cork for that sort of thing. Best of luck in your gayquest.

    Hi Tommy,

    Contrary to Golfer01's narrow minded assertion that this "sort of thing" does not exist in Kerry or indeed that there are no gays in Kerry, he is in fact mistaken. There is a social group called Ciarrai Amach that organises social outings and meetups as well as activities (hillwalking etc) which you may be interested in. They even have a chat forum like Boards.

    You might also like to post in Boards LGBT forum where you might get more responses to your request from a more targeted audience.

    Good luck!

    Hey

    Thanks for your reply :-)

    I said id post here in case someone from kerry does see this and deosnt know about the lgbt fourm section..

    And also there seems to be some people like the above poster who thinks theres no gay in Kerry haha so theres no harm mentioning it on the Kerry thread as you would.never know it might actually get people thinking about gay guys in Kerry :-)

    Thanks

    Tommy :-D

    I live in Kerry and know a good few gay people. Not sure about whether they have some specific organisation or group that helps them meet other gay people in Kerry but will ask them. That Ciarrai Amach sounds like a good idea mind you.

    Hi Tommy,

    great idea and well done for posting here in the Kerry section.

    And posts like the "edit" from TheGolfer01 will only make us more determined to speak out.

    Yes, there are loads of gay people in Kerry. Trouble is we're a scattered community, all ages etc, and with attitudes like the one shown above it can be a bit daunting to be "the only gay in the village". Thankfully most people are a lot more enlightened.

    Hope the idea takes off -- and thanks again.
