Good Morning from Manchester Tyreese - I’m a 53 years old Irish gay man and I first arrived in London Heathrow off a flight from Dublin on the 25th June 2002, with an (outdated - as I later discovered) copy of Spartacus gay guide, as it had been my first time outside of Ireland, even though I’d lived in Dublin for 3 years - I’d been travelling alone with €600 in cash and nothing else, so I was really nervous, anxious and scared (so I don’t recommend travelling alone in London), I had not got a clue where I was going in Central London but I got the last Tube out of Heathrow (which felt like outer space with the red post boxes in the Arrivals area and the closed restaurants) so I arrived into Piccadilly Circus, had a Burger King then eventually headed to Balan’s Coffee Shop in Soho, getting scared witless directly underneath Big Ben (Houses of Parliament) at Midnight, getting lost halfway up the Mall, getting lost on the Circle Line Tube the next morning after being scared witless by a taxi driver in Soho, trying to find London Euston for the train to Manchester - I eventually found a Virgin peak time train to Manchester at approx 6am paying £96.00 single - as much as I’ve been back home to Ireland many times since on my own, I’d definitely consider coming to London (with friends) on first class from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston - and I’m aware that many in London’s queer community are Irish 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🥰
@@XtraMagazinewhen Tyreese mentioned about queer history, as both an Irish gay man and an Irish patriot, I did my research and I discovered what happened to Sir Roger Casement, an Irish gay man and Irish patriot, who before the Easter Rising of 1916 in the fight for Irish freedom, had secured the arms for the Rising from Germany on board the Asgard, which landed at Howth near Dublin - many in Irish patriot circles because of the Catholic Church’s attitudes to homosexuality at that time, did not honour his memory as much as many of the other leaders of the Easter Rising, mainly centred around Dublin’s GPO, even after Sir Roger Casement was executed in the Tower of London in 1916 for high treason and indecency, where after his execution in the Tower, his body was buried in quicklime 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪🙏
