NIGRA NIGRA has moved forward and now hosts a communications forum for all gay groups in Northern Ireland to exchange information and ideas https://acomsdave.com/].

NIGRA is the oldest gay rights organization in Northern Ireland. Since its conception, it has sought to ensure ‘GayRights’ means enhancing the rights of anyone oppressed on account of their -actual or imputed – sexuality. Through our Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/NIGayRight5] , and our Twitter account [https://twitter.com/GayUpstart] (previously we led by producing our information and resour

ces through our various printed magazines and newssheet). We now publish articles that are of interest both locally, nationally, and internationally from a wide range of sources related to the LGBTQI+ people’s lives = all topics that we think might be useful for our community and its supporters. To these articles, we also write and publish independent articles written by local people through ACOMSDave [www. Now we are looking for more local input and support and we would like you to write on any topic that you feel needs highlights, e.g. Best gay spit in Northern Ireland (or your holiday resort area)

Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe are reuniting.

But this is VERY different from Merrily We Roll Along.

Their new film, Trust the Man, is a psychological thriller set during the Vietnam War.

The official story follows an ambitious Army Intelligence officer assigned to investigate a decorated soldier with a mysterious past.

Surveillance turns into interrogation.

Loyalty becomes obsession.

And the two men develop what the film describes as a “dangerous and uncontrollable connection.”

Interesting already.

Then Daniel Radcliffe revealed another important part of the story:

The film explores homosexuality in the military during the Vietnam era.

That raises the stakes considerably.

This was decades before Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Gay and le***an service members could be investigated and discharged simply because of their sexuality or same-sex conduct.

And the cast keeps getting more interesting.

Groff — one of Hollywood’s most recognizable openly gay leading men — is joined by openly gay veteran actor Victor Garber.

And Boots fans may recognize another name:

Angus O’Brien. 👀

Yes, Hicks himself is joining the cast.

We don’t yet know who O’Brien plays — or whether Groff and Radcliffe’s characters become lovers.

So no, we’re not calling this a gay romance.

Yet.

But a dark military thriller about homosexuality, surveillance and obsession during Vietnam?

With Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe AND Angus O’Brien?

You have our attention.

Even Justice Smith (soon in Heated Rivalry) are reportedly in the cast.
