John Ireland works as a freelance journalist and filmmaker, based in Los Angeles. “I am fascinated by democracy in action,” he says.  “In my work, I get to meet people who have passion for life… who choose to live life on their own terms. It’s where these lives and the rest of society intersect where I find the story.”

He has focused on the gay rights movement, the electoral process, the effects of linguistics and semantics on everyday exchanges that connect us to one another.

As a journalist, Ireland has been published in numerous periodicals, including Newsweek, In These Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Baltimore Sun, the Tampa Tribune, and the Advocate. He contributed a chapter to the book, Losing It: The Virginity Myth. Ireland has a B.S. in Languages & Linguistics, with a focus on Political Science from Georgetown University.
