Queer Republic of Cork : Cork?s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Communities 1970s-1990s

O. Egan

In 2015 the Irish people voted in favour of Marriage Equality for same-sex couples, and the Irish government enacted the Gender Recognition Act - two important steps towards equality and rights for LGBT people in Ireland. These developments did not happen in a vacuum, but rather built on decades of activism by LGBT community organisations and individuals. Taking readers on a journey through the development of Cork's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities 1970s-1990s, this book redresses their invisibility and provides a valuable insight into the development of a vibrant and active LGBT community.
