In the September issue of GCN we talk to music icon Sinead O'Connor  about her 30 turbulent years in the industry, God, religion and homosexuality, how she was inspired to be herself by men in drag and what happened the day after the music died. The brand-new openly gay director of the Dublin Fringe, Kris Nelson talks about how he put his stamp on the capitals alternative theatrical celebration and the queer productions featured at the Fringe. Plus, St.Vincent (aka Annie Clarke) talks to Lisa Connell about the influence of religion on her life, selfies and queer identity.
