Shirley-Anne McMillan lives in Co.Down, near the Mourne Mountains with her partner, Ian, and their two children. She is a contributor to the Belfast arts collective, Ikon, which explores postmodern religious thought, and she works as an English teacher and volunteers in her local Integrated high school. Shirley-Anne helped to start Northern Ireland’s first high school Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) group and she has taken part in several discussions about LGBT equality in education locally.
