AMAZING! RT @EidinNiShe: Fantastic: Rose of Tralee reveals she’s gay – Independent.ie http://t.co/aY7rH1hcQc via @Independent_ie — Louise McSharry (@louisemcsharry) August 24, 2014
‘Twas a different story on Monday night…
I really don’t think the female voices we need most present in our media right now are two nights of the Rose of Tralee. Soz, Ireland.

I can usually find a level on which to enjoy the Rose of Tralee. This year it’s just making me really really angry. — Louise McSharry (@louisemcsharry) August 18, 2014
Rose of Tralee: I’m gay (Aoife Bannon, Irish Sun) [behind paywall]
H/t: Ronan McGreevy
Good girl Una, it’s not easy for a young journalist to hold two differing opinions on the one subject. Next year we will give transgenders a crack at it.
How are you seeing two different opinions?
She doesn’t like the RoT but likes the fact an openly gay woman won it.
FFS. Now ‘Buying milk’ is gay.
Or is that some kind of code?
Maybe she meant buy the DVD of Milk the film.
soya milk myself …. now questioning EVERYTHING. ..
I don’t think Gay wants to get married… he’s gettin’ on a bit.
Typical of the new brigade of right-on, uber-liberal, twitteratti, pseudo-journalists. Severely lacking in talent, humour and conviction
Why would this change anyone’s opinion of the RoT? Even if you thought the organisers didn’t know, which is unlikely.
What a typical agenda driven post this is.
Whether you like or dislike these two, there’s no real hypocrisy here. As i said above, Maybe Una just doesn’t like the Rose of Tralee but is happy that a lesbian won it?
Mullally is fundamentally anti democratic. The gay lobby have no respect for other peoples views.
That’s why they’re calling for a democratic referendum them?
Has Una posted her colours to the mast yet?
Ages ago
There’s really no contradiction here. “I dislike the Rose of Tralee, but I’m happy that it was won by someone who doesn’t conform to the traditional standards of the competition, and in general that LGBT visibility has increased in a way that will impact a lot of people”. What on earth is internally inconsistent about that?
You do realise that these people just throw out tweets for attention? I don’t believe Mullally is quite sure what her opinions are of the Rose of Tralee, as this article shows;
