2. Two Book Reviews
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Time to celebrate two peerless books that have been published recently, instant classics both. They mark a coming of age of Irish gay identity in two very important, but different respects. Homosexuality in Irish History: Terrible Queer Creatures by Brian Lacey is that rare beast: an instantly indispensable tome. A simply written, thorough and thoughtful book, [...]

4. Bootboy: Irish Men Today
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: The recent Irish Times/Behaviour Attitudes Men Today poll* makes for interesting reading. 30% of us are single, it appears, about half a million of us. 12% of us who are married or in long-term relationships have admitted to having had extra-curricular affairs, (nearly one in five of those under 25) and I imagine that the [...]

6. Harney has to go
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I rarely get baldly political in this blog but as the Medical Card fiasco progresses I am picking up one constant theme. The ideological debate is being won constantly at the Cabinet table by Mary Harney, and there isn’t an intellect agile enough to combat her ideologically driven agenda, to tackle her on principle. She’s [...]

7. Bootboy: Photography
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I’m easy to please. Put me in a few fields with over 30,000 happy people and I soak up the atmosphere until I’m giddy. A pill-less e-zone. Put a camera in my hands, however, and I’m lethal. The act of observation changes that which is being observed; but it also changes this observer. There is an [...]

Description: Just came from the launch of Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan’s book Our Lives Out Loud in Dublin. Edna O’Brien gave a lovely speech, her first book launch, she said. I’ve read the book, and loved it. My full review is here.

9. Bootboy: TV Hell
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I’ve been scraping the bottom of the pop culture barrel recently. All in the name of journalistic research, you understand. Television is fascinating precisely because it’s so popular, there is no better representation of general human preoccupations: this is who we are. And yet, my fascination is also a sort of macabre masochistic experiment: how [...]

10. Mouthpiece - MarriagEquality/LGBT Noise debate - Front Lounge
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: A lively evening of debate on gay marriage this evening. Lovely to catch up with the good folk of MarriagEquality and LGBT Noise. But Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan stole the show. As they should.

11. Bootboy: Born Gay?
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: John Barrowman, the song and dance man who shot to fame as bisexual matinee idol Captain Jack in Doctor Who and Torchwood, took part in a recent BBC documentary The Making of Me, in which he bravely allowed himself to explore the scientific origins of his sexuality. The trouble with research into homosexuality is that [...]

12. Darkroom - Players Theatre - Dublin Fringe Festival
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Darkroom by Gentle Giant Theatre Company is a strange beast. Brought to see it by a friend, I only knew what I read in the Fringe Festival programme: DC and Marvel superheroes and supervillains face extinction. The Anarchic Invincibility Deficiency Syndrome unmasks masked idols and Supermen fade to grey. When the world falls darker than Joker’s [...]

Description: Love 2.0 produced by thisispopbaby at the Project is a little gem. Two slices of modern life, a showcase for the writing skills of two promising young writers. Both short plays emerged on the encouragement of the Abbey Theatre in March, and it is great to see  them get a production so soon like this. [...]
