Panti's rousing gay rights speech goes viral
Well-known Dublin drag queen Panti Bliss - aka Rory O'Neill, self-described as an "accidental and occasional gay rights activist' - took to the stage of the city's Abbey Theatre last Saturday evening following a performance of James Plunkett's 'The Risen People'.
Her passionate and personal 10-minute speech on gay rights, homophobia and the nature of oppression - entitled 'Panti's Noble Call' - was recorded and posted to YouTube, where in the intervening days it has garnered almost 220,000 views.
