From 1990s boy bands to the AIDS priest, Fr Bern?rd Lynch, from the Belfast Lesbian Line to proud parenting, from the earliest Pride events to the last days of Alternative Miss Ireland, fourteen distinct moments map the changing social and cultural landscape of Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from oral history as well as archives, \u003ci\u003eReeling in the Queers\u003c\/i\u003e brings even more to life the great big queer tapestry in Ireland.
