Reeling in the Queers: Tales of Ireland's LGBTQ past with Páraic Kerrigan
Monday 23rd June 6.30pm
The month of June is Pride month and, to celebrate, we host a special talk on a recently-published book. Join author Páraic Kerrigan as he talks about his book published in 2024 which marks 50 years of the founding of the LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland and explores the lesser-known stories of the fight for LGBTQ rights.
“These stories, from across the island of Ireland – and further afield – 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. It is a hugely enjoyable and insightful read for both those who lived through this movement and for those who enjoy its benefits today” - Hodges Figgis on " Reeling in the Queers”. Book here from June 9th
