Hidden Histories of the Northern Ireland Troubles - A podcast by Gareth Mulvenna

Categories:

In this episode I chat to Jeffrey Dudgeon MBE about the gay experience of the Northern Ireland Troubles. Jeff is famous for having brought a case to Strasbourg which led to the decriminalization of homosexuality in NI. He is also the editor of Roger Casement's 'Black Diaries' and most recently wrote a short book about Montgomery Hyde. He was involved in the foundation of Cara / Friend in the mid-1970s and was, until recently, an Ulster Unionist Councillor for the Balmoral DEA in Belfast.
