The book details the emergence of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland and charts how this burgeoning movement utilised the media for the liberatory potential of advancing LGBTQ rights. However, mainstream media institutions also exploited queer identities for economic purposes, which, coupled with the eruption of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, disrupted the mainstreaming goals of queer visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on industrial, societal and production culture determinants, the author identifies the shifting contours of queer visibility in the Irish media, uncovering the longstanding relationship between LGBTQ organising and the Irish media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, media studies, cultural studies and LGBTQ studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePáraic Kerrigan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Teaching Fellow with the School of Information and Communication Studies at University College Dublin.
