This group discussion, filmed on February 28, 2025, with members of Derry’s Rainbow Youth Group, delves into the communities’ hopes and aspirations for the future, as well as their concerns about potential challenges. They engage in a wide-ranging discussion on various topics, including politics, identity, public attitudes, and reflect on the significance of being a part of Rainbow Youth. For many young LGBTQIA+ individuals in the Northwest of Northern Ireland, this group serves as a crucial lifeline, offering a safe and inclusive space where they can express themselves freely with their friends.
