Editorial:  I make not apologies for putting this up on our site, whilst we in Northern Ireland have hopefully moved on, there are still elements who would have us treated as second or even third class citizens, and ho attack our homes and even us as individuals.

Please remember,

HATE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A WELCOMING, SUPPORTIVE, AND LOVING SOCIETY

 
Photographer Robin Hammond has created a stunning photo series exploring what it’s like to be LGBT in the places where loving someone of the same sex is illegal.
Portraits from the ‘Where Love Is Illegal’ project span seven different countries, and explore the intolerance, abuse and hatred that many LGBT people are subjected to.
Hammond told National Geographic: “My projects often come from an experience or a view of an injustice, something that makes me angry. It became vital to me to tell these stories—the ones that had not yet been told.”
