The purpose of this page is to organise my research into cruising in Ireland. At the moment, I am mostly focused on cruising as a way for closeted gay men in Ireland to meet each other before and just after decriminalisation in 1993. There isn't a lot written about that though, so I also want to read into the practice in other countries for comparison and context, especially in France, and Paris in particular, since that's where I'm living right now.
This bibliography is divided into a few sections. For clarity, each source is written first as its title with a full citation and link hidden as a dropdown.
By right, images really should be listed under primary sources, but I just think it's easier to give them their own section. Anyways, a lot of the images I've collected so far aren't directly related to cruising, I've just written them down here because I suspect I can find a connection on closer study.
The other section here is my 'personal writing.' This is for any extended written critiques of the sources I make. Right now it only has one essay I wrote for college. I'm really happy with the research I put into this essay, but I kind of hate the way it's written LOL. Maybe some day I'll fix it up to be a little bit more consistent and nice to read.
