Would anyone know of any Irish/Based-in-Ireland Queer LGBTQ+ journals/literary magazines/publications who are currently active and open to submissions?
Preferably, but not exclusively, on the somewhat academic side!

I used the theme tune for my short-lived stint on Newry community radio (IYKYK), which went out via speakers up lampposts rather than on the actual radio. 😂
Hill Street Blues premiered on this date in 1981. It lasted 7 seasons & 146 episodes and introduced us to a raft of new memorable characters.
