As I have stated previously, there was a one-way system around my school and every day I passed a BeLonG To poster which read "It's OK to be gay". Although I did not come out while I was in school, it was nice to know someone had put up the poster there. It is very important that such posters be put up In GAA clubs and other spaces. Taking part in sport can be frustrating for members of the LGBTI community, which is probably why I ended up playing for the Dublin Devils football club. We will be in Rome in July for the European games. I commend the initiative represented on the sticker.
