Product Description
What does it mean to be lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender or a questioning woman in Ireland today? From a
place of secrecy and shame, LGBTQ women are proudly taking their place in Irish
society and sharing their stories. But their stories are many and varied. They
range from the humorous to the tragic, covering love, denial, heartbreak, joy,
fear, happiness, religion, rejection and acceptance.
Running
Amach in Ireland is a collection of 34 true stories gathered from the
membership of Running Amach, a social networking group for LGBTQ women in
Ireland. These many inspiring, touching and uplifting stories describe the
experience of ‘coming out’, of falling in love and of finding yourself. Touching
on many different aspects of what it means to be LGBTQ in Ireland today, and
coming in the aftermath of the historic Marriage Equality Referendum, these
stories shine a light on a corner of Irish society that has for too long been
ignored.
Through their individual
stories, these women illustrate the common humanity that binds us together, and
they invite us to share in all aspects of LGBTQ life in Ireland today.
