www.bbc.com/news/article... Delighted to hear that Maurice and Fred have been given a blue plaque. Queer histories (and working class ones in particular) still don't get enough formal recognition #BluePlaque #Barnsley #Darfield #QueerHistories #LoveStory #MauriceDobson @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social
It’s a great line-up of writers and I can’t wait to delve into the rest of the anthology. Massive thanks to HES and editors CJ Mahony and Lewis Hetherington for putting this important book together

Very happy to see there will be queer history tours in Glasnevin celebrating Pride 🌈 Also happy to see my research on queer Irish revolutionary women has had impact … several are buried there … it could also include Madeleine ffrench Mullen, partner of Dr Kathleen Lynn #speirgorm #queerhistories
I was an advisor on the creation of the tour and was on the pilot tour last weekend - it is fantastic (plus I got to sit on a replica of the Eileen Grey chair - surprisingly comfortable) - highly recommend the tour. #speirgorm #marriageequality #queerhistories #irishhistory #skystorians #history
Two people sit next to each other, smiling at the camera. They sit closely together. One has shoulder length dark hair and the other short dark hair. Behind them is a white wall. A pattern or rippled white light hits their faces and the wall behind.

Poster for LGBT histories workshop
It’s ‘LGBT activism in Ireland, 1973-2023’ workshop day … delighted to host this event (or rather, as the great Tonie Walsh says, tribal gathering) in @ucddublin.bsky.social It is so vital to gather, share and record our histories … esp in the context of the current global backlash. #queerhistories
Poster for looking back going forward event at UCD
Really looking forward to this event on Thursday. Hearing the histories of those who campaigned for LGBT+ rights in Ireland from the 1970s. It is booked out but it’s being recorded so there will be a chance for all to hear the contributions and podcast. #history #queerhistories #speirgorm
