Mary Coughlan was born in Galway, Ireland on the 09th January 1987.\u00a0 She grew up in Oranmore, a small parish-town on the outskirts of Galway city and became interested in acting at an early age.\u00a0 Following her graduation from the National University of Ireland Galway, Coughlan moved to England where she trained in acting.<\/p>\n<p>Coughlan\u2019s early acting career was small, with bit parts in animation and on stage.\u00a0 When when work became difficult to come by and her finances were running low she returned to her family home.\u00a0 The impact of not achieving her acting goals left her bed ridden with depression.\u00a0 Coughlan credits her family for helping her to recover, starting with when her sister physically pulling her out of bed and taking her out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Coughlan\u2019s respite and recovery was a slow and arduous process but in 2015 she secured the leading role as Jess in the Old Vic production of Jess and Joe Forever \u2013 a coming of age story about the titular characters and their journey of friendship across a number of summer holidays.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display:

Coughlan was nominated for the Offie Award of best female performance.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Coughlan had achieved her first big break with the role of Clare Devlin in Channel 4\u2019s Derry Girls.\u00a0 The comedy series is a set in the 90s during The Troubles in Northern Ireland and revolves around a group of teens (family and friends) with big plans which often result in disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Clare is person who is uptight, meticulous and somewhat conditioned to order, yet advocates social justice and change.\u00a0 At the end of the first series Coughlan\u2019s character came out as lesbian at her

triumph in television production and has been viewed by more than 82 million Netflix accounts.\u00a0 I would highly recommend watching it, although perhaps not with your mum and dad \u2013 there are some very adult scenes that even had me shocked!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Nicola Coughlan is without a doubt an amazing and talented actress and one that I love to watch during a series binge, but her time here on the Kaleidoscope blog isn\u2019t really for that.\u00a0 Her reason for being here today is of course because she is a Queero for being an ally.<\/p>\n<p>Coughlan is a loud and proud advocate for all thing\u2019s equality, whether that\u2019s for women rights and societies views on body image, abortion laws and equal pay, to LGBTQ+ rights, the latter of which we are here to spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Coughlan\u2019s role as Clare Devlin has been highly praised by the LGBTQ+ community for her natural portrayal of a teenager within the community and for not taking an overly stereotypical approach that often occurs with heterosexual interpretation of LGBTQ+ people.<\/p>\n<p>Now a high-profile celebrity figure, and a humble one at that, Coughlin uses her voice to continue her work in activism and social change.\u00a0 She supports numerous LGBTQ+ issues including the eradication of transphobia, raising awareness of LGBTQ+ history, and regularly claps back at the bigots and the naysayers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicolacoughlan\/status\/1362447090002104326\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicolacoughlan\/status\/1362447090002104326<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And following the announcement that same-sex marriage was legalised in Northern Ireland back in January 2020, Coughlan shared her joy with the community and in particular, Northern Ireland\u2019s first same-sex couple to get married.<\/p>\n<p><a
