"There still is an aspect of always having to come out, basically, because the status quo is that you're straight. Therefore, in work and that kind of thing, there's always a bit of friction there when you meet someone new who doesn't know. You will end up telling them, you know, ‘at the weekend, what did you do?’. Oh, well, I was with my boyfriend or whatever. And there's always going to be that, well, what are they gonna think about that? I mean, it's not a problem, I suppose, in the context of, British people, or Irish people nowadays. With people from countries where it's not acceptable to be gay, I definitely do assign them. I’m maybe a little bit more worried. For example, in work if I had a colleague who was from somewhere where it's not acceptable to be gay, to tell them about, what I did over the weekend with my boyfriend, because I may be a little bit more worried about what they might think." Seamus Beirne is 29 years old (30 next month). He lives in Oslo with his boyfriend. He works as a data analyst for a grocery delivery company.
