In our annual Pride issue we talk to queer singer/song-writer Soak before the release of her debut album about the pressure that comes with being a role model for younger LGBTs and why she thinks Pride is as relevant as ever; Will Young talks about his diverse career, wanting a life partner and his struggle with his inner demons and why Pride is growing to become inclusive of diversity and human rights; Divisional LGBT Liaison Officer Sergeant Joe O'Flaherty explains the safe space the Garda are trying to create to report crime by stepping up the Garda Free Advice Clinic's activities in Dublin's Outhouse; We talk to three members of Dublin's Pride team about what being part of Ireland's biggest celebration of LGBT lives means to them. All this and more inside!
