How has the word ‘Queer’ evolved?

On Tuesday’s show Andrea was joined by Roscommon Poet Jane Clarke, who talked about her experience of being gay, and the importance of the marriage referendum. Jane referred to herself as queer several times, and it got quite a bit of a reaction – some people confused by it, and some dead against it. So, we wanted to have a conversation about it, when it’s okay to use, and by whom… Listener Claire and Drag Performer and Host of the ‘Poz Vibes’ Podcast Veda join Andrea to discuss.
