Reeling in the Queers: Tales of Ireland’s LGBTQ Past

Marking fifty years of the founding of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland, Reeling in the Queers explores the lesser-known stories of the fight for LGBTQ rights since 1974, beyond decriminalisation and Marriage Equality. These stories celebrate a strong community and its allies, and speak across the generations. Together, they tell a new story of the gains, losses, devastation and community rising from the ashes of defeat.

Former President Mary McAleese has described Reeling in the Queers as ‘a fascinating read.’ Author Páraic Kerrigan will discuss his research, drawing from oral history as well as archives.
