Irish Queers Folks......An Raibh tú ag an gCarraig?

Calling all Queers of Irish descent in the NYC area......come to the rock! An Raibh tú ag an gCarraig is Irish for "Were you at the rock?" and it dates back to the Penal Laws devised by British colonizers that made going to mass illegal (amongst other things). Going to "the rock" was an act of resistance, and it is time for us to celebrate the Irish history we know that fights oppression and champions resistance against all odds. We can't let the Hibernian's assimiliationist, repressive, patriarchal, reactionary, (the list could go on and on) twisted version of Irishness and Irish history go unchallenged.

IQ will be meeting weekly until St. Patrick's Day. Our next meeting is tomorrow night.....e-mail us for the location.
