Dahnan Spurling, from Wicklow and now living in Dublin, is a student in Trinity College. As someone who had a difficult time coming out in school, Dahnan hopes that someday LGBT people will be seen as a normal party of society and that coming out will no longer have to be such a burden for LGBT youth.
