- He was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in Ireland and had been serving in Seanad Éireann since 1987. A founder of the Campaign for Homosexual Law Reform, he is also a prominent member of the Church of Ireland.
David Norris is an Irish scholar, independent Senator, and gay and civil rights activist.

I interned for him for 3 months in 1997, and he was the same then as he is today. Just a bundle of energy and positivity and wit.
Amazing man.
Thank you for all this humanitarian work you've done to progress the acknowledgment of rights & the betterment of endless persons lives. No one should ever give up of justice & liberty. Love is love. Fight hate not love. 💗
The McGill Interview brought me here.

What an incredible man.
Very inspiring for this fairy, homosexual, gay, queer, whatever. We’re all just humans.
Senator David Norris is possibly “the” greatest living Irishman and the greatest European humanitarian,of the last one hundred years. He’s a lovely old gentleman to boot!
Nonsense
Anon Ralph
Elaborate?
@@anonralph7081 No, just your biased opinion.
David Norris couldn't even serve in the Seanad if not for the work of the *actual* greatest Irishmen of the last one hundred years, Michael Collins, Éamon De Valera Arthur Griffith etc etc.
@@internetual7350 I said living Irishman and as for Eamon De Valera he did more harm to our emerging state with his deference to his friend Charles Mc Quaid than almost anyone else.
Lord Norris...king of the west Brits.
It's hanged, not hung.
