Somewhere to Stand: An Audio Documentary by Sorcha Beausang

Somewhere to Stand is an audio documentary that explores the importance of belonging and connection for gay men within the world of the GAA. What started off as a documentary to examine gay men’s experiences with homophobia in GAA evolved into a more nuanced exploration of identity, community, and connection. Through personal accounts, it follows different experiences of being a gay man in the GAA; from stepping away, to staying, to creating new spaces. Featuring voices including Dónal Óg Cusack and members of Na Laochra Aeracha, this documentary reveals the complexity of a sport often defined by tradition and community. Rather than offering a single narrative, it highlights how the same space can be experienced in very different ways. At its core, Somewhere to Stand reflects on how men connect through shared experience, and why having a place to stand beside others, whether in traditional teams or new ones, remains so important.
