Over recent years, the community has been subjected to increased attacks and hateful speech both within society and online.

James has some practical advice this week so that we can continue to shine, celebrate pride and keep ourselves and our friends safe.

Always report any incident you perceive as motivated by hate to An Garda Síochána. In an emergency you must call 999/112.
