    Is it entirely impossible to link to the facebook-page?


    Also, why anybody would tune-in to a show they know nothing about is beyond me. Details!

    It's quite often used as a "reclaimed" term, particularly in academic circles.

    1. Seriously.

    2. If you search for Queer fm on facebook you will see our site - it can also be reached via www.near.ie

    on facebook there are links to the last two shows, so you will be able to hear what its like.

    3. Listen in this sunday to find out that answer ;)

    A radio station that is only on for a few hours one day a week?

    What's the point?

    It's a programme called Queer FM on the Radio Station Near 90 fm (which is a 24 hour not-for-profit community radio station.)

    I work at the station myself. Haven't heard the show yet, but I know the people involved and they do good stuff.

    Can I ask, what´s the difference in a regular radio station and an LGBT one?
    I just..don´t get it.

    2 gay radio stations?! We're on a role. On the subject of lgbt stations, whats up with openfm playing no lgbt artists? I've only recently noticed it, you'd think they'd give people like Tegan and Sara a bit more air time (on a side note, their current music is actually so ****).

    You might as well ask what the difference is between this forum and other forums.

    Queer FM is a radio programme that deals with LGBTQ issues.

    I can't speak for Open FM which is the temporary station that finished up recently, but I'd imagine they'd had a similar remit as well as providing a wider entertainment service.
