>>> b.tags.all()

If you don't add the reverse relationship, you can do the lookup manually::
Just as :class:`django.contrib.contenttypes.generic.GenericForeignKey`
accepts the names of the content-type and object-ID fields as
arguments, so too does ``GenericRelation``; if the model which has the
generic foreign key is using non-default names for those fields, you
must pass the names of the fields when setting up a
``GenericRelation`` to it. For example, if the ``TaggedItem`` model
referred to above used fields named ``content_type_fk`` and
``object_primary_key`` to create its generic foreign key, then a
``GenericRelation`` back to it would need to be defined like so::
tags = generic.GenericRelation('content_type_fk', 'object_primary_key')
Of course, if you don't add the reverse relationship, you can do the
same types of lookups manually::
>>> b = Bookmark.objects.get(url='http://www.djangoproject.com/')
>>> bookmark_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(b)
