The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI+) landscape in Ireland has transformed significantly in recent decades. Irish society is far more inclusive of the LGBTI+ community today than at any other time in Irish history, with many LGBTI+ young people living visibly happy, successful and fulfilling lives.

This changing environment stems from a number of significant positive initiatives which have taken place in Ireland in recent decades and have resulted in substantial progress and improved outcomes for LGBTI+ young people.

Recent legislative changes have advanced greater equality for the LGBTI+ community as a whole, most noticeably through the passing of the Gender Recognition Act and the Marriage Equality Act in 2015. Measures continue to be taken with a view to improving and enhancing the lives of LGBTI+ young people in Ireland.
