Evie, please could you shortly introduce yourself?
My name is Evie. I have been a feminist for several years and an antiracist, gender and transgender activist before that as well. I've studied computer science before, and right now I'm studying psychology. I'm a member of several feminist groups in Belgium; I'm writing for a magazine and doing activist work in Ghent and I started the De Tweede Sekse feminist blog http://tweedesekse.wordpress.com/ at the end of 2008.

How did you come to feminism?

„Narobe means Wrong.“ - Roman Kuhar, editor-in-chief of Narobe magazine and blog (Ljubljana), in conversation with Tea Hvala.

Topic: 
Activism
Grassroots media in Europe
LGBT and queer issues
Teaser Image: 

Roman Kuhar: “Narobe” (http://www.narobe.si/ and http://www.narobe.si/menu/arhiv) means “Wrong”. It‘s a kind of subversion which we wanted to have in the title of the magazine. People keep on asking us why the magazine is called Wrong, isn’t it supposed to be a magazine which affirmed with the LGBTIQ community? The fact that we get this kind of feedback is a sign that choosing this name was a good decision. There is also a subtitle – “a magazine where everything is right” – which, in my opinion, makes our message quite clear.

The Lady List (Website)

Location

Ireland

The Lady List: For Ladies Who Like Ladies

The Lady List is an independent online resource dedicated to providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on events and gatherings happening around Ireland for gay, lesbian, bi and transgender /gid women.

Why was it set up?

As the gay scene advances and improves in Ireland, so too should the access to information and it was felt that a proper professional service was not being provided for the lesbian community. Information was fragmented, sometimes outdated, unclear and at times, difficult to source. The Lady List is trying to change that.

Gaelick (E-Zine)

Location

Ireland

Gaelick is made up of a group of Irish people who talk too much. We’re all friends who are sick of pretending to listen to eachother and basically just want an audience.
Ok, seriously, we’re a group of mates who decided that we wanted an e-zine for Irish lesbians, and why wait and complain when we can do it ourselves?

Gaelick is an Irish lesbian e-zine, comprising a group of Irish women who talk too much. So now, we’re lesbians online. We’re a motley crew of creative lesbians, media and political lesbians, bookworm lesbians, film fanatic lesbians, student lesbians and professional lesbians – all with one thing in common. In fact, we’re lesbian/gay/bi/whatever you’re having yourself. So, read, enjoy, comment and visit often! Remember we need an audience!
