Páraic Kerrigan, "Reeling in the Queers: Tales of Ireland's LGBTQ Past"

Celebrates 50 years of LGBTQ rights in Ireland with a collection of lesser-known stories of the movement's evolution through 14 pivotal moments.

These stories, from across the island of Ireland - and further afield - celebrate a strong community and its allies, and speak across the generations.
