Mr. Bear Ireland Candidate
ROB
advocate, I'm a co-founder of Opera Unhinged and editor-in-chief of Social Care Now magazine, (and a new gay mens magazine on the way) while also working in health care.
With years of experience in social care and advocacy for inclusion, I believe that true strength lies in kindness, laughter, and standing up for others. Outside of work, I'm a lover of opera, storytelling, and the last few months fitness, having lost six stone.
I've been chair person of Galway Pride, I founded the Galway branch of the LGBT+ Helpline and I continue to advocate for my community since coming out all those years ago.
For years I struggled with body image issues but through a self- hosted podcast, some self help and supportive friends I overcame them. I think I could be the perfect ambassador for body positivity in the gay community.
I also think my look totally embodies the bear label!
Friends, I’m a finalist in Mr. Bear Ireland. I’d love it if you’d vote for me by clicking the link below. Thanks you ❤️🐻🐾

Music, voices, stage setting (apart from one thing) was pure bliss. Amazing. Costumes, lighting and story was terrible.

We’re watching In A Violent Nature. Apparently there’s acting in it. I’ve yet to see any.

Dear Hetero Hen Parties,
We are not your safari.
We are not your glittery props for the night.
Our bars are not Stage School for Straight Girls™.
So put down the inflatable penis, finish your prosecco, and kindly fuck off!

Every day it takes more fucking makeup to look human. I’ll need a trowel and divine intervention soon.

Hive mind! Help!
What mundane thing annoy you? Slow drivers, over sharers, influencers?
What people annoy you? Trump, Rowling?
It's for a project I'm working on. Think "I've got a little list" from the Mikado.

Bothan Bound: City to Countryside Carticles
A COLLECTION OF POEMS BY ROB PARTRIDGE
Two city slickers trade neon buzz for Galway boreens in this raw, rhyming odyssey of leaky roofs, rogue sheep, sidhe whispers, and hard-won belonging. Sullivan-esque verses from sweat-soaked chaos to starlit peace.
Rob Partridge, librettist, chronicles his first rural year with humour and heart.

It’s actually really disappointing how many people don’t clean the equipment after they’ve used it at the gym.

You choose….
1. I sneezed and fell backwards off an organ stool and broken my wrist.
2. I fell off a bus shelter and broke my arm while spinning to become WonderWoman just like she did.
