EXPLORG THE DOUBLE LIFE A PUBLIC PARK HAD FOR GAY PEOPLE IRELAND DURG DARKER TIM

When a piece of queer art ed a childhood memory to e floodg back, Han Tiernan reflected on the send liv public spac had for gay people. One day when we were playg the park, one of the olr kids told that we better not enter at night bee there were “rent boys” and “gay men”. By the time I was The Gee watchg the film, I was a long-standg, fully-fledged lbian unr no illns about cisg culture and “rent boys” or even “gay men”.

I assumed, although we never discsed , that many of my gay iends had cised. The sndal was a plex and long-nng se which began after William O’Brien, the Natnalist MP and edor of Uned Ireland newspaper published several articl accg Cornwall and Jam Ellis French, Director of the Detective Department of the Royal Irish Constabulary, of beg homosexual.

The ensug trials acced Cornwall, French and Kirwan of solicatn and buggery as well as three gay brothel owners of buggery and “keepg disorrly rooms”. The sndal had untold repercsns for the gay muny Dubl and throughout Ireland and the UK, the most signifint of which was the passg of the 1885 Gross Incency Act.

The act ma easier to arrt homosexuals, often wh ltle more evince than mere allegatns. It was the law unr which Osr Wil was tried and the law which remaed place Ireland until the crimalisatn of homosexualy 1993.

THE BT OF GAY DUBL

It has often been a necsy servg an array of sir such as gay men unhappy marriag or bisexual men or those who simply fetishise sex wh strangers. But as well as satisfyg sir served as a social outlet for men who didn’t want to or were unable to engage wh the gay ‘scene’ and had nowhere else to go. I heard a story about how Micheál MacLiammóir, -founr of Dubl’s Gate Theatre, ed to ‘slip for a quick one’ as part of his morng walk to work: a time-honoured tradn om one of our venerable, stately homos.

The Gee is a popular sectn of the cy center, a short walk om several excellent rtrants (Fallon & Byrne, Rtic Stone), and om here 's also an easy stroll to the handful of other gay bars Dubl.

The Christchurch venue is large enough for events, too, and has hosted a number of gay weddgs.
