2001

In October 2001, the GAA threatened legal action with the makers of GI (Gay Ireland) accusing the magazine of ‘bringing the association into disrepute’ over the use of county jerseys [Kerry, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kilkenny and Mayo] in chap-on-chap billboard snogs.

GAA’s involvement in Dublin Pride ‘isn’t just a token gesture’ (Sky News)

FIGHT!

UK Tory Party leadership hopeful Boris Johnson apparently called the French “turds” during a fly-on-the-wall documentary about his time as Foreign Secretary.

To help a blonde freak
Take them all up the creek
With no paddle, just one massive turd

Good times.
