As capital city and largest urban centre on the island, Dublin has always attracted gay men and women looking for both the anonymity, and exposure, that a big city provides. In fact, Dublin has more gay men and women per capita than San Francisco. With one of the highest youth populations in the European Union, coupled with the (now diminishing) "Tiger" economy, the city seems to be ever-expanding both physically and culturally.

There has been a huge change in the make-up of the city's (and Ireland's) population in the last decade. Refugees, foreign workers and students, returning emigrees and tourists have all contributed to a new diversity and vibrancy on the streets. Unfortunately, this change has also exposed the potential hypocrisy, intolerance and even bigotry of the native Irish population. So it's worth bearing this in mind when considering attitudes towards the gay community.
