Somewhere between chuffed I've found this channel and miffed it's taken me this long. Great video, looking forward to checking out the rest of your work, maith thú!
My Irish neighbor speaks against the gays. And someone I was in the salvation army with, Mindy is an Irish lesbian. So is her dad. The staff lady said she is gonna turn him straight. Mindy spoke so repulsed of the threat. I'm like, let him be gay if he chooses.
I believe both MERJ and MASI are both against bringing in hate crime legislation. If I recall its because in other countries it usually ends up being used to target marginalised communities rather than protect them. But I may not be remembering correctly.
I'll check out what they have to say on it, I can see the point for sure. I know INAR have a campaign at the moment calling for hate crime legislation too. Definitely a wider discussion to be had on it.
@@TheCraftyCailleach yay - I work for a British based LGBT international charity and I’m half Irish in the way to get my passport - I love this history snap shot, sent it to the whole family! Some of this need immortalising with a gosh darn good film or something
Go raibh maith agat for making this, and putting so much work & detail into it. Both my children are members of the LGBTQIA+ community so it warms my heart to see how much this means to you, and it would seem to many people in Ireland. We have come a long way in Canada, but similar extreme right wing ideologies are on the move here as well. It does seem to be a global issue right now. It just means that now, more than ever, people of good will need to speak out loudly in support of love, equality and justice as you have just done. Grateful! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 💜
The person may have deleted their comments, they had an issue with the video. Glad you liked it! Edit to add: The reason they had an issue with the video was because - according to this person - it wasn't in line with what my channel usually covers (which is Irish History and Folklore, for the record). This is Irish History. It might not be the history we're used to seeing, but that doesn't make it any less relevant.
Sad that it takes someone to be murdered for the State to wake up. One of the men given a suspended sentence was later given 10 years for breaking into the home of a pregnant woman and raping her. I read he died recently in England but cant verify.
Not really obsession, more like Christianity being used as a tool of colonisation to stamp out Gaelic and Irish culture and indigenous spirituality. Then at the founding of the state, the white Conservative men decided to write laws and constitution around Catholic Conservative issues and kept women down. But that's a story for a different day.

No worries at all, I'm glad you're here either way. I haven;t been terribly consistent at all but trying to change that! Go raibh maith agat :)
Great video. Look forward to the videos about gay historical figures.
Thank you! You might enjoy the one I did on Margaret Skinnider last year in 😊

Oh jeez I had not heard that. That's absolutely awful!
