It’s 1993 and Paul Polydoris tends bar at the only gay club in a university town thrumming with politics and partying. He studies q***r theory, has a d**e best friend, makes zines, and is a flâneur with a rich dating life. But Paul’s also got a secret: he’s a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Women’s Studies major to trade, Paul transforms his body at will in a series of adventures that take him from Iowa City to Boystown to Provincetown and finally to San Francisco—a journey through the deep q***r archives of struggle and pleasure.

A practical path to an equitable Ireland. What does true inclusion look like on the ground? Today, the LGBTQI+ sector came together at Leinster House to map it out.

We are proud to stand as part of a coalition of 24 community and national organisations to launch Funding Inclusive Futures, our joint Pre-Budget Submission for Budget 2027.

Our frontline teams see the reality every day: regional services are overstretched, there is a lack of dedicated local spaces, and critical gaps remain in trans healthcare and mental health supports.

This afternoon, we brought these issues directly to political leaders at an Oireachtas Briefing, presenting a clear, evidence-based, and fully costed roadmap for ambitious future action. By investing in our local communities, schools, and healthcare systems, the State has a unique opportunity to build an Ireland where every LGBTQI+ person can live a full, free, and safe life - regardless of their Eircode.

Head to the link in our bio to read our core recommendations and see the data driving the submission. 🔗

Join us this Saturday for Trans & Intersex Pride Dublin. 🏳️‍⚧️💜💛

Trans & Intersex Pride has always been a protest. At a time when trans and intersex communities continue to face increasing hostility and discrimination, coming together in solidarity has never been more important.

We will be meeting at Outhouse by 1:30pm and will make our way together to Dublin Castle for the march at 2:00pm. If you'd like to march with the Outhouse team, we'd love for you to join us.

We'll also be opening our doors from 11:00am for a 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐞 (GRWM) in the Red Room before the march. It's a chance to find community, enjoy getting ready together, and prepare for the march in a safe space. No need to book, just drop in. Please bring your own makeup if you plan to use any. We'll have mirrors available, but if you have a makeup mirror you'd like to bring along, feel free.

There is power in showing up for one another, and we hope you'll stand with this Saturday. ✊️

What a day!

From the smiles and conversations to the chants, colours, and community spirit, it was a privilege to celebrate alongside so many incredible people.

A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, board members, patrons, allies, and everyone who marched with Outhouse. Your energy, support, and solidarity made the day so special.

Pride is a time to celebrate our community, but it's also a reminder of why we continue to show up. We stand for visibility, equality, and justice, and we're committed to creating spaces where LGBTQ+ people feel safe, seen, and celebrated every day of the year.

Thank you for being part of our Pride. We hope these moments capture just a little of the joy we shared together. 💜
