Singer reveals how his coming out has given others courage

Brian Kennedy tells Claire Droney it’s getting easier to be openly gay in Ireland, but there’s still a lot of work to do.

IT may be barely 10 years since he revealed his homosexuality, but one of the country’s best known gay celebrities has told how his coming out has given many Irish teenagers the confidence to admit their sexuality.

Brian Kennedy will tomorrow address March for Civil Marriage Equality in Dublin, organised by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) NOISE.
