AHEAD of this week’s Pride events in Belfast, Ulster’s first LGBTQ+ Gaelic football club travelled to Munster to play the first ever football game between two LGBTQ+ inclusive GAA clubs. Aeracha Uladh GAC formed in April 2022 with the ethos of promoting GAA culture and LGBTQ+ rights. Last Saturday the Belfast-based club travelled to Cork to take on Na Laochra Aeracha who were formed in 2023. The match at Munster Technological University’s (MTU) GAA grounds was a huge achievement for inclusive sport in Ireland, but it was much more than a game of football.
