In this month's GCN we look at the kiki subculture in New York, in which young LGBT people of colour lead and encourage each other; Trans writer, performer and TV personality Our Lady J talks trans representation, writing for Transparent, queer relationships and more; We publish the results of our second Burning Issues report, surveying the issues of the Irish LGBT community; Adam & Paul director Mark O'Halloran talks about immersing himself in the Cuban gay scene for his latest coming-of-age drama Viva. 

Plus veteran activist Edmund Lynch talks about his new project for the GAZE Film Festival, in which he collects an oral history of the years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality from over 160 participants who came of age during that time.

All this and more in this month's GCN!
