'They're not worried about any children.' Anti-LGBTQ protests at Cork City Library aim to promote misinformation and fear, according to a Cork City Councillor.
Cork LGBT Archive Founder Orla Egan was due to speak at an event in Cork Library on Saturday about art and activism, but the event was rescheduled to today following the library’s closure.
“This harassment of Cork Library staff has been going on for months and months, and the guards are taking a really ‘softly, softly’ approach.'Solidarity is so important' “They have an activist exhibition in the libraries this afternoon,” she said. “It's a celebration of social change activism, of queer activism, of feminist activism.”
