The Northern Ireland Gay Rights Association (NIGRA) is an organisation campaigning for the rights of LGBT people in Northern Ireland.
NIGRA was formed in 1975, and initially concentrated on campaigning for gay male sex to be decriminalised, as had been done in England and Wales by the Sexual Offences Act 1967. This was achieved by the Homosexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 1982, passed by the UK government under pressure from the European Court of Human Rights.
