Abstract:
Homosexual acts were illegal in Ireland until 1993. Between 1962 and 1972 there were 455 convictions of men for crimes such as ‘indecency with males’ and ‘gross indecency’. Homosexuality was regarded as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973 and by the World Health Organisation until 1990. ‘Treatment’ provided in various countries, including England and Northern Ireland, included psychotherapies (such as psychoanalysis) and ‘aversion therapies’ involving delivering emetic medication or electric shocks to homosexual men as they viewed images of undressed males; administration of testosterone followed by showing films of nude or semi-nude women; and playing tape recordings outlining the alleged adverse effects of homosexuality and alleged benefits of heterosexuality. In Ireland, homosexuality was regarded as a sexual deviation throughout the 1960s and some psychiatrists were involved in court proceedings and ‘treating’ homosexual persons with psychotherapy. Although there are some suggestions that ‘aversive therapies’ were used for homosexuality in Ireland, there is currently insufficient primary evidence to clarify this further. The history of psychiatry’s attitude to homosexuality is revealing for what it shows of the changeability of psychiatric diagnostic practices over time, and the extent to which certain psychiatric diagnoses are subject to social, political and various other influences. There is a strong need to enhance mental health services for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons who experience mental health problems.

Abstract:
This essay shall examine the relationship that exists between Irish studies and queer theory via a consideration of three recently published works, both academic and literary. The texts that shall be reviewed are: Eibhear Walshe's Oscar's Shadow: Wilde, Homosexuality and Modern Ireland, Aintzane Legarreta Mentxaka's Kate O'Brien and the Fiction of Identity: Sex, Art and Politics in Mary Lavelle and Other Writings, and the new collection of plays, edited by Fintan Walshe, entitled Queer Notions. The association between Irishness and otherness (a connection explicitly stated by Oscar Wilde) means that the shadow of queerness haunts Ireland and Irish studies. The works being examined in this essay illuminate some of the forms (among many) ‘queer Irish studies’ can take.

Abstract:
Using primary archival material, this article explores the role of students and universities in the campaign for gay rights in Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s. At a time when few organisations in Ireland involved themselves in the campaign for gay rights, student bodies facilitated the promotion of gay rights, interaction between gay rights organisations and students and challenged the legal and societal attitudes towards homosexuality in Ireland. In doing so, universities, both north and south of the border, became important spaces of gay rights activism, both in terms of the activities taking place there, but also symbolically, as gay and lesbian students challenged their right to claim a space within their respective universities, something denied to them in the past. Moreover, through the use of the student press, conferences and campaigns to gain official recognition for gay societies, students helped to promote a broader discussion on gay rights in Ireland. This case study analysis of gay rights activism on Irish universities offers an insight into the importance of exploring the efforts of students beyond the long 1960s, arguing that students continued to be important agents in challenging the status quo in Ireland and transforming Irish social norms.

Abstract:
While the benefits brought to the LGBTQ+ community through the legal reforms enacted in the last two decades are undeniable, paradoxically the contribution of this community to Ireland is still largely absent from official narratives of the past. This article discusses Jamie O’Neill’s novel At Swim, Two Boys (2001) as a response to this absence through its reconstruction of Easter 1916. The narrative that the novel presents on the Easter Rising differs from national and nationalist accounts of the event in that it is not a mere recollection or remembering of what happened, but rather a re-membering of it. Drawing on the approach of the Easter Rising as a moment of possibility, the novel reassembles the narrative of the rebellion on the basis of gay experience, an experience that has been absent not only from the historiography on the Easter Rising, but also from the national imaginary as well. Through this reassemble and resignification of the rebellion, O’Neill’s novel provides a retroactive as well as future-oriented counter-memory of Irishness that materializes the need to reorient of Irish historiography and the political body based on a non-heteronormative affiliative understanding of the sovereign country. Keywords: LGBTQ+ Voices; 1916 Easter Rising; Memory; Jamie O’Neill; Irish Historiography.

Abstract:
This essay interrogates how the theatre of Queer monologist Neil Watkins challenges HIV-stigma, while simultaneously reconciling his Queerness and HIV-positivity with a sense of Irishness. The development of life-saving drugs for the treatment of HIV means that, in certain parts of the world, including Ireland, people are no longer dying from AIDS, but living with HIV. This has given rise to what cultural commentators call a ‘Post-AIDS’ discourse, whereby a discourse of crisis and death has evolved into one of health and typical life expectancy. In terms of being ‘post-AIDS’, Ireland bifurcates into two paradoxical socio-cultural discourses: that of HIV as a medical event, and that of AIDS as a cultural narrative. And while the discourse surrounding HIV the medical event is progressive and democratic, the cultural narrative of AIDS in Ireland is steeped in stigma, ignorance, and contagion paranoia. This damaging narrative is mirrored and embodied in Irish theatre. Interrogating Irish theatre's contentious relationship with the HIV-positive body reveals persistent themes of absence, hiddenness, illness, and death. Neil Watkins disrupts this dramaturgy of shame by mobilizing HIV-stigma to political effect, disrupting received knowledge and cultural assumptions about the HIV-positive body and its current theatrical placement within an anachronistic discourse of crisis. In earlier monologues such as A Cure for Homosexuality (2005) Watkins blurs the lines between the fictional HIV-positive character and the living performer, engendering a troubling tension for the spectator. With his latest work, The Year of Magical Wanking (2010) Watkins further evolves this space whereby the boundaries between character and performer are completely negated. By journeying through Watkins's ‘magical’ year of quotidian HIV-stigma and sexual shame, the spectator discovers the roots of such shame and stigma are not only embedded in Irish socio-political structures, but also in a limiting and narrow heteronormative sexual imaginary.

This project explores the history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland from 1973 to 1993. Using primary archival material and oral interviews it challenges the current historical narrative which presupposes that gay and lesbian activism in Ireland was confined to a legal battle to decriminalise sexual activity between males and confined to the activities of one man, David Norris. The project broadens the campaign for gay rights in Ireland to include other individuals, organisations, concerns, aims, strategies, and activities outside Dublin. In particular, the thesis demonstrates the extent to which there were numerous gay and lesbian organisations throughout Ireland which utilised the media, the trade union movement, student movement and support from international gay/lesbian organisations to mount an effective campaign to improve both the legal and social climate for Ireland’s gay and lesbian citizens. While politicians in recent years have claimed credit for the dramatic changes in attitudes to homosexuality in Ireland, this project demonstrates the extent to which these dramatic changes were pioneered, not my politicians, but rather by gay and lesbian activists throughout Ireland, in both urban and provincial regions, since the 1970s. The project considered the emergence of a visible gay community in Ireland and its impact on changing perceptions of homosexuals; the important role played by lesbian women; the role of provincial gay/lesbian activists; the extent to which HIV/AIDS impacted the gay rights campaign in Ireland; and how efforts to interact with the Roman Catholic Church, political parties, and other important stakeholders shaped the strategies of gay/lesbian organisations. Homosexuals are revolting: A history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland, 1973-1993, reveals the extent to which gay and lesbian activists were important agents of social and political change in Ireland, particularly in terms of Irish sexual mores and gender norms. This project helps to contextualise the dramatic changes in relation to homosexuality that have taken place in recent years in Ireland and encourages scholars to further explore the contribution of Ireland’s queer citizens to the transformation of Ireland in the twentieth- and twentieth-first century.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how Irish writers since Oscar Wilde have invoked Hellenism when faced with public exposure of their homosexuality. Wilde is seen both as a dissident against England and, for gay writers, a champion and liberator. For James Joyce, Wilde was a figure of defiance and a fellow exile. Patrick Pearse never mentions Wilde, but seems to have been drawn to his sensibility in the parallels he suggests between ancient Greek and Irish masculinity. The writings of Brendan Behan are no less permeated by Wilde’s Hellenism. Following the decriminalization of homosexuality in Ireland, affiliation with Wilde could be openly acknowledged, as in Jamie O’Neill’s At Swim, Two Boys (2001), where Wilde is an iconic symbol of both homosexuality and patriotic rebellion. Controversy has been reframed, however, through media associations of Hellenism with paedophilia, and has embroiled politician David Norris and Irish-language poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh.
