Building a Queer Ireland, Pt.1

Ireland is the final stop for Season One of /Queer. In our first episode in the country, we interview Ireland's Gay Godfather- founder of GCN Magazine and gay rights icon, Tonie Walsh. Across two episodes, Tonie talks to us about LGBTQ+ history, sexual diversity in rural spaces, caring for an aging gay population, and what it looks like to build a Queer Ireland.
