No Irish Need ApplyJacket Notes

Edward C. Patterson's Hilarious Romp through the Pink Halls of Political Correctness

The closet is a dark and stifling place, especially for gay teenagers. It’s a place we seek to escape the world around us — to escape our own better nature, because we have been told that we should be true to ourselves as long as we are like everyone else. For Louis Lonnegan and Kevin Borden, the closet is a place to hide, but also a place to escape. Dedicated to PFLAG, the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, No Irish Need Apply explores the daily life in the suburbs — in High School; in the tender and tentative homes of two widows trying to raise sons and lovers. Growing up gay can be a dilemma to everyone involved — a journey as adventurous and dangerous as scaling Everest. Life at Seventeen, always a hormonal cauldron, has never been so explosive.
