Queer as Fliuch will aim to document the evolution of Irish Queer history through the voices of those who have lived through it. From the early days of a small social movement of the 1970s, to the death of Declan Flynn in 1982, decriminalisation in 1993, to becoming the first-ever country to ratify same-sex marriage through popular vote in 2015, we look at all of this and more. Hosted by stand-up comedian, Sinéad Walsh. Researched by Emer McGinnity. Produced and hosted by Acast.
