Context

The National LGBT Federation [NXF] is a non-governmental organisation in Dublin, Ireland, which focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. The NXF publishes Gay Community News [GCN] and campaigns for the equal rights of, and to combat discrimination against, LGBT people in Ireland and internationally. The organisation was founded as the National Gay Federation [NGF] in 1979. In 1990, the NGF board voted to amend its name to the National Lesbian and Gay Federation [NLGF]. In 2000, the NLGF was incorporated as a not-for-profit limited company by guarantee and achieved charitable status. In February 2014, the NLGF was renamed the National LGBT Federation or NXF for short. The announcement was made at an event in Dublin celebrating 35 years of the organisation's existence.

In 2002, €342,000 were awarded to the National LGBT Federation [NXF], who were then called National Lesbian and Gay Federation [NLGF]. Over period of three years the grant was to enable Gay Community News to become a high quality, self-sustaining paper.
