B*Witched

Pop stars Edele Lynch and Sinead O’Carroll had gay friends as teenagers who were accepted in their Irish hometown, however the pair knew other LGBTI people wouldn’t have been as lucky.

“I can remember at school kids would childishly gabble about sexuality,” Lynch told the Star Observer.

“If two girls kissed each other the whole school would make it such a big deal.” O’Carroll agreed and said despite not seeing much discrimination firsthand, she knew it was happening.

“We were always around [gay people], so it was never really an issue,” she said.

“But I’m sure that it was difficult for many of them – it’s not an easy road.”

In February next year B*Witched will be touring Australia for the first time since 1998, alongside pop royalty Atomic Kitten, S Club 3 (formally S Club 7), and East 17.
