Description
Kieran Rose is a Cork gay activist who was born in 1953.
He began his activism as a founding member of the Cork Gay Collective and then later the Quay Coop. He campaigned for the rights of lesbian and gay workers resulting in the ICTU policy document of 1987 "Lesbian and Gay Rights in the Workplace".
He was a co-founder of GLEN in 1989 which went on to campaign successfully for gay law reform. He has also written "Diverse Communities: The Evolution of Lesbian and Gay Politics in Ireland". He has put together an incredible collection of photographs from the 1970s onwards.
We are grateful to Kieran Rose for sharing his photographs with the Cork LGBT Archive, and to Queer Culture Ireland for digitising and sharing some of the photographs.
